Because.


You exist. 

You exist
as summer 
somewhere today.
You exist.
also in my memory 
right here each day
still making my winters 
beautiful.

You exist
in spaces
between these frost particles
as color,
crimson
carved on white branches,
like a lone painter
has painted a smile
with solid lines
which move
on his canvas
to create happiness.

You exist.

  1. This is so heartfelt. It's really beautiful :)

    you touched me with colour
    and life came to me like a blooming flower
    you gave yourself and i became
    you're here as me
    and i'm lost in you
    being me, being you is the same

    1. I loved your reply.

      I know
      here
      I am
      being me.
      there
      you are
      being you.
      and still
      you're here
      in the color
      of my language
      which bubbles
      crimson songs
      sung in winters.
      white.

    2. I love when verses talk. like they were stories. stories all we had.
      to connect.
      to evolve.

    3. Suna hai sufiyon se humne aksar khanaqahon mein
      Ki yeh rangeen bayani, 'Bedam', rangeen bayaan tak hai

      Often have i heard the Sufi saints say this
      These pretty verses die the moment we stop singing them.

      Stories reveal their meaninglessness the moment we stop telling them. We still never seem to stop though. :)

    4. Now this leaves me speechless.

      He told his story, half in words , half in unsaid spaces between those words.
      I listened.
      I replied back in words, and spaces.
      absorbed his meanings.
      Kept them.

      Who gives something, someone meanings?
      us.
      who feels meaningless?
      us.

    1. Thanks Vandana. Probably everything remains the same... all elements, all atoms. Only the roles change.
      with time and space.
