Moments

I know what I have to do now,

Each cell demands a winnable fight,

Not knowing the fallouts,

The twilight stripped down to a lean ray,

Running water’s edge-

The tall grass caressing fingers,

Evening breeze comes like a healer

But the darkness lingers in spine, in iris,

With lofty promise and deep learning

come some unknown peril,

Memories spin and at the end teach me

Something that I never care to listen.

Knowing moments are temporary,

I pick one by one and blow them away.
