The Moment

A pure moment when the eyes meet,
And the mother smiles... At the very first sight of the baby
Tender and innocent, the life time of a breathe,
That is how long it lasts! But the impression it makes? Forever!

The moment, a mere second making love with another
Just when the lips bid farewell,
Lasting for a second of the ocean of seconds of this life
Like the shooting star...
Be born, live a magnificent and beautiful life then fade away!

Like a thought born at the end of the final sip of wine
Bright as the fireworks in the mid night sky
Lightening up the kid like heart, with awe
Though for a brief moment, as if to witness the brimming smile!

That brief moment of sadness, fear or happiness
Right before the grand moment where all the seconds of life end
What do i see? The Angels? Love of my Life?
Or may be God himself? Or the eternal universe?

A moment is what we carry from the time we are born
Till the curtains fall... Its the moment of awe, Joy, Sadness,
Hatred, Kindness, Fear and above all Love!
Though it lasts just for a brief second of life,
We cherish it.... The Moment!
