A Glimmer It Was PDF Print E-mail

By Meena Chopra
 
A glimmer it was-- 
 
was it you 
or the sun ?
 
A chilly winter
blossomed in spring.
Whiffs of the flowers fled, 
diffused in the sky.
The rainbow emerged,
half born
half engulfed,
wonder-struck visions stopped
at the semi-circle.
 
Near was the horizon
distant was - 1.
Closed eyes captured
unfolding emotions,
but
the feelings
flowing and flying
endeavouring to touch
the rainbow,
plunging in space
searching
the elusive pot.
 
Is it the treasure ?  
Will 1 find 
my lost destiny there
with you beside me ?
 
A destiny-- 
lost in our hearts 
at a time
when the time was 
stillborn
