A Moment's Paradise

krutarth

I once was lost,

unable to find my way.

 

intimidating trees towering above me,

the thick, humid air choking my neck,

the constant feeling of being watched.

eyeballs appearing behind a black backdrop,

here and there.

 

I once was lost,

unable to find my way.

 

the frequent rustling of leaves,

the sounds of cracking twigs,

the frightening coos and calls of animals unknown,

give me an unnerving feeling,

as they raise the curtains of a terrible happening.

 

I once was lost,

unable to find my way.

 

the sounds of someone gargling,

directed me beyond the thick of the forest.

and as I reached the clearing,

I saw a small stream of water pristine,

with bulging eyes and shaking hands,

I took a dip and forgot my anxities.

And lay there free,

legs dangling in the cool water,

cherishing that moment of peace.

 

I once was lost,

unable to find my way.

 

But chanced upon a moment's paradise,

in the eye of the storm.
