WAIT

Hindi version published in Amar Ujala March 2004

Wait, Of that precious moment,
Is of a time, when even
Time s definition was not carved
That deviate you from
The path of responsibilities,
And drift you in the flood of thoughts
In that wave of emotions which
With its mirage elevates us
from that right and that wrong
That stops your steps towards me
Makes you a stone
Listen, if you wish you can touch
That immaculate question
Which resided always in eyelashes
but never try to open
In thirst to know its definition
as once solved it will wash out
With its everlasting wait,
Whom it wants to keep eternal.

Small things straight out Hardeep : For off to be in capitals Then it should read, Wait! Of that precious moment,. Still reads funny not sure there consider revision... Aside from that this writing is very strong. Awaiting for a moment so special that your thoughts will be elevated to a moment of deep thinking and feeling allowing you to have a sense for what is eternal.

An intriguing wait..

Thankyou
