I have learnt how to believe

By Banan K M Irfan

I have learnt how to believe

In impossible things.

Like the fact that the sun can be trapped,

In bright smiles.

And its warmth can be shared

In warmer laughter.

Like the fact that the stars cam form a bridge,

And take us away from our fears.

That the moon does follow us all:

A silent but faithful friend.

Like the fact that we all are universes;

Individual and unique.

We all are infinitesimal wholes,

We shine and live.

Like the fact that the sky,

Resides in the souls of people;

Stormy and resilient, but

Comforting and safe.

Like the fact that time can be suspended,

By the touch of gentle fingers.

The world slows down

In those moments.

Like the fact that we all are tied,

Not by red strings of fate,

But by our own sunrays:

Forever to each other.

I have learnt how to believe.

I have learnt how to believe.
