And She Had a Conversation With a Poet Last Night

He was not anyone special, quite an ordinary genius
       Questioning her in the middle of  her theorems of poetry
      "Do you know what is the biggest truth of life?" 
       It could be the beginning of a lengthy hypothetical moment
       Which often starts again, and yet again.

       But the conversation was a bit different.
       When he assured," The truest realization of life happens
       With an urge to live with a wishful heart
       We live for that single moment
       Among thousands of ordinary floating moments."

       On that moment,
       A young soul turned to a grown-up
       She has nothing, nothing at all
       Besides rose petals, and envelopes wrapped in rainbows
       Is it worthless? Nonsense?

       He still dreams of a glorious victory
       With all his scratches on his notebooks
       To defeat all the darkness of the soul.
       And She uttered an oath touching the sleeping baby face
      "One day, victory shall be ours, I promise."
       
       And she had a conversation with a poet last night.
