written on an impulse...

Just a Day

It was a day

Not too different from today

Except it was raining then

And the streets smelt of the trees and the grass

And the trees and the grass were greener than they ever were

The streets were empty

But they weren’t silent

They laughed like they were being tickled

Giggled in all their glory

It was a day

Not too different from today

Except you were with me then

I was on the street that day

Giggling with the streets

With the rainbow in one hand and heaven in the other

And clouds beneath my feet

the green in the trees and the grass was me

the water in the rain was me

and I was falling on you

covering you all over

reaching every little part of your body

as you walked on the happy streets by yourself

looking at me in the trees and the grass

smiling on your own, to yourself

never realizing you were not alone

never realizing I was smiling with you

or perhaps you knew

and then you turned into me

and I was walking right where you were

soaking you in, wanting more of you with every drop of you on me

I was smiling now but I knew I was not alone

Or may be I was

I looked up to see you sitting at the rainbow

screaming my name to the sky

I tried to catch you, but the rainbow was far far away

So I closed my eyes and said a little prayer

When I dared to open them

I saw no rain

No giggling streets, no green leaves

No rainbow and no clouds

and as I tried to wander back into orientation

my hand touched your breath

my eyes met your closed eyelids

I could see you were smiling in your sleep

I nudged closer to you

You smiled some more

Not aware that I saw you

That you were still not alone

That I was smiling with you

I tugged your arm with one hand

And the other hand felt your breath

I closed my eyes and then it happened again

I had the rainbow in one hand and the heaven in the other

And the clouds beneath my feet

It was a day

Not too different from today
