LET THE MOMENTS BE STILL…..

By Zarin

Let the moments be still

When the lights danced in the flowing water

Let the moments be still

When life felt complete in the echoes of your laughter

Let the moments be still

When eyes spoke more than the trembling lips

Let the moments be still

When you decided to conquer the kingdom and took it all

Let the moments be still

When the translucent and incandescent lights in the deep caverns made one ache for completeness

Let the moments be still

When each raindrop told a story of both pain and fulfillment

Let the moments be still

When what was not said meant more than what was

Let the moments be still

When time entailed both certainty and uncertainty

Let the moments be still

When nothing was more certain than the moment at hand

Let the moments be still

When the soul recognized itself in another

Let the moments be still

When nothing else mattered but the smile on the face

Let the moments be still

When I wake up calling out your name

Let the moments be still

When only tears can tell the untold story

Let the moments be still

When even the most beautiful of landscapes on the train could not pacify the empty heart

Let the moments be still

When walking into the sunset, hand in hand, seemed like the perfect answer

Our Stories

I just read a really meaningful quotation:

“There’s a story behind every person. There’s a reason why they’re the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone.”

I suddenly got thinking. I meet so many stories every day. Some tales of pain; some of sorrow; some tales of enlightenment and bliss.

It is these blissful and painful moments that amalgamate to make ‘life’. Some moments are so powerful that they remain with you in all moments to come. And some are lost or forgotten even during experience.

So is life only those few meaningful moments or do these moments lead somewhere; do they lead towards moments of more fulfillment and completion or are they whole in their entirety.

It’s good to write and share; because we are all on our own journeys. We feel the same pains and joys and when we don’t share, we think we are the only ones who are suffering, which is never true.

What are we learning in life? Really what??

And when we have learnt so much, why are we faced with so many conflicts every day. In life why is it most difficult to be just ‘true to your own self’? Why?

Excess Baggage

Walking on the journey called life, it’s extremely important to understand what ‘excess baggage’ we are carrying with us.

Some live with ‘regrets.......the ‘could bes’, the ‘could have beens’, the ‘what ifs’........

Some live without forgiving; one of the heaviest baggage. Remember, forgiving others is not for their sake but for easing out your own burdens.

Some with ‘broken hearts’ or ‘unrequited love’ which to one seems like the most perfect thing but unimaginable by others. People do die of ‘broken hearts’.

Some carry ‘unsaid words’..........the silence that haunts them till the end. Why weren’t they said? Because of inflated egos, fears of rejection or because people were taken for granted but mostly because ‘what could be.......seems impossible’.............
