The Moment..

By Divya Viswanath

The very FIRST HUM...

Lingers in my heart, echos in my ears

I rewind the first song I crooned, after so many years

I choke thinking, what a day it was

As I recollect the thunderous applause

Let me close my eyes and relive the moment...

As I can remember, on my FIRST DAY at school I am asked to say something..

So many stares, I see I wonder

A voice cuts the wind and comes as a thunder.

I shudder ,I start and soon I fumble

I am asked to take my seat.

I walk and I tumble.

I see around with my big black eyes,bewildered probably I weep,

A friendly little soul,from outside the class,gives a chuckle,gets a quick peep.

Let me smile a little and relive the moment....

I was struck by his ethereal charm, was lost in my own land of fantasy

I sang in admiration, i roamed in ecstasy

He brought me to his enchanting magic world

so mystical was the FIRST FEELING of love

That in madness I danced and in happiness I twirled

Let me touch my heart and relive the moment...

Those numerous topples, the apprehension of trying again

Was swooshed away by a magical smile which helped me stand and sustain,

I laid my FIRST successful STEP as somebody held me gently and walked me through

The smile which comforted my soul and hands that gave me refuge,

Still shields me ceaselessly each following day, each falling night.

HE is the epitome of love, SHE is my guiding light

Let me thank them and relive the moment...
