Footprints Poem by Ankur Beohar

'A moment it is', she said;
this moment is all that remains between us.
Between us because of this spark, the fire shall never ignite..

No! this moment will not lead to a conflagration.
It won't burn, it would not consume, this fire;
It would just shine, as it does in the ocean at night
It would just glitter as does in the necklace of pearls
It can survive but it would flutter,
this spark..between us, she said;

'it would not burn forever'
It is 'a Moment' she said assuring herself, 'a Moment it is'

And I smiled..amused,
A moment; I recall, a moment is forever;
It survives in the memory lane,
maybe deep beneath the conscious self;

Its amplitude may be truncated, Its intensity reduced, killed.
It lives, it guides, it approves and ignites;
Its sometimes the lamp beneath the dark of life.

Its the guiding force for battles inane;
and a moment the cosmic design that gods ordain;
This moment I am sure, your will, will survive
This moment I assure, This moment will never die.
