Silken hair playing in breeze
Soft blemish less glowing skin
Lovely expressive black eyes
Innocent smile on the lips
Cherubic face of angelic beauty
Words of grace resonating in air
In a moment of idyllic freeze, I saw her
Soaking drops of honey into my heart
She whispered her thin voice into my ears
Flapping her innocence all along
She laughed at my meaningless chatter
Widening my experience of undying love
She dismissed my egotistic caricatures
In a moment of moments, I was all hers
Wrote sonnets and songs on our love
As she was my object of admiration
Ate her half baked bread & porridge
As she became my soul of life and death
Enjoyed her care that made me feel special
As she giggled ‘we are made for each other’
In a moment unexpected, I lost her permanently
Wished she could come alive for my sake
For my life trembled without her concern
Soft breeze sounded like a typhoon
And clock ticking banged my heads
Without her warmth and loving chides
My beard became my identity soon
In a moment of sadness, I chiseled my pain as a book
Left aside my fortune to a charity
And settled in a hut with memories
Simplified my life with a loaf of bread
And little porridge in her remembrance
Keeping the knife of dispassion in front
I prayed in earnest for my last breath
In a moment of peace, I experienced her in my heart
Walked through those monumental moments…
Her virgin beauty radiating freshness
Her charming, shy walk in the bridal outfit
Her affectionate motherly taunts echoing love
Her playful pranks heralding childlike demeanor
Her soft heart that prayed for the welfare of all.…
In a moment of Graceful realisation, I held her again

You have beautifully developed a simple concept.
"In a moment of moments, I was all hers" is indeed very touching.
Good job! Great going!
Wonderful Padmaja. What a moment of moments to be remembered! Well done.
Latha - I borrowed your idea (of course with your permission hehe...) and you are so generous. Thanks. In fact, I thought of trying another interpretation of the man being the pastor and praying for his own salvation. Well, as you know, I take time to write and moreover other commitments knocking on me, I may try sometime later.
Radha - Some moments are unforgettable in our lives howmuchever we try not to remember. Thanks a lot.
