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
