Some rare moments

Life gives few very rare moments to introspect,
And those rare moments seem to occur more often during utter chaos...

Like the elation after the first drop of rain honours the skin at the most unexpected hour,
Like the first smell of rain enliven the senses at the most fatigued second...

Among the sound of hands impatiently hammering on the miserable keyboards,
Among faces frowning with worries of the past and future,

I find the moment, so divine and so pure,
Gently slipping out of my hand but filling the heart with ecstasy...

Makes you wonder at the couple of lines that ping at your distant dreams,
Dreams sylvan, so perfect and elysian to be true,

Dying to realise those illusions hidden deep beneath the facades of practicality,
Still giving the pleasure of life rather, well dreamt!

Moments that bring tears to the tired eyes,
Moments that mock at your heart exploding with contentment...
In such a moment, Oh dear Lord, take my soul !
