TODAY ONCE MORE

In case you forgot how to smile;

Even then, for a tender while,

Leave behind your personal score

And live the moment – today once more.

If your eyes, for years, have remained dry

And yet your heart, like a gray sky,

Wants to burst into a heavy downpour;

Let it rain – today once more.

If you slept at nights without the gleam

Of starlit wonders or moonbeam;

Today, in the twilight, before the Sunset,

Allow yourself to have one more dream.

If what was to be said, has remained untold;

Before the arrival of winter’s cold,

Let your heart have its say

Before the silence – once more today.

None can presume what the future holds

Or how the enigma called tomorrow unfolds;

“Right now”, is all we have, to explore

Our oblivious selves – today once more.
