'Was lost in my thoughts -
As if, sitting on a cliff -
Decision awaits
Never been there-
Dreaming or what?
Cool breeze came
And fireflies
Closed my eyes
To dive in deep -
Fragrance pervades
And you came in
You held me tight
And told me, " Fly..."
I was afraid
And asked you, " Why? "
" 'Cause, life is divine,
Give it a try" - with Spring blooms
My desires rose high
Clouds got cleared, with the rainfall
I breathed in - fragrance still there
(C) Anindya Mohan Tagore (Bobby)
