In the Moment

A MOMENT IN ETERNAL  TIME 

                           Pearly lilies nodding heads
                       At eve loitering in garden,
                      Crescent Moon about to peep.
           Crackling sound of fencing gate raised alarm all on a sudden.
                  I turned my face and miracle flashed. 
                 Enchanted, mesmerized, I felt blurred vision,
                           Seemed an illusion!
                 I saw you entering after long twenty years.
                       My blood in flood rushed to heart.
                              Heart skipped beats.
                        Eternal flow of time took momentary pause.

                          Your casual smile acknowledged me,
                              as if we are visiting frequent.
                     You admire color of flowers resembling pomegranate.
                                 I offered a pretty posy of lilies.
                                My first and last gift to greet.
                               Could not remember! Whether!
                            I felt tender touch of your finger!

                         But that moment stands still in my life.
                    Moon does not change phase, but stays crescent
                      And till then I am living in that moment.
