Mystery

Our paths crossed for a little bit
Then we went our own merry ways
You, like a charm bracelet - lost
But the charm that forever stayed

A sea shell that I put to my ear
and heard the ocean breathe
the waters carried away the shell
the whispers of the sea, remained
we sat down, trying to weave 
a thread through the flowers, scattered in our laps, 
the thread broke, the flowers - swept away by the wind
yet the scent of those flowers, remained. 

In the deepest recesses of our hearts
Lies a mystery - unresolved
What we let go from our past


And what shall, forever remain

Just like that! -by Atul Singh

  Just like that! Just like that, in an ephemeral moment everything changed. time stalled the river turned course the diagnosis was confirmed just like that,  everything that could,  changed Just like that in a whimsical moment everything changed lightening struck, thunder clapped their eyes met! just like that, in a beautiful moment everything that could, changed Just like that, in an helpless moment everything changed the ground convulsed, vaccum surged through her heart the downdraft wailed in her powerless arms, his bloodied body, lost it’s breath just like that  everything that could.. changed! Just like that in a delirious moment everything changed the Skies rained joy the Universe conspired the baby yelped, his first little cry just like that, for her,  everything that could, changed just like that just like that…
