The Moon always revolves around the Earth,
Just as the Earth around the Sun,
It is the larger entity which
Always provides the axis to the smaller one,
That is what I took as the law of the nature,
and shunned out of my mind
any thoughts of what would happen,
If one day things happen otherwise.
Long time back,
As a young man in love,
Many a times,
sat on the shores of Mumbai,
Watching the Sun going down
As I tried to catch my breath
in the maddening, pace of the City of no sleep;
And thought of my love
Whose sole occupation those days
was to be love-lorn and misty eyed.
I saw large, gigantic ships floating
Close to the shore,
Unmindful of my lazy gaze and thought,
How could such enormous shapes
depend on a small anchor
dropped to the foot of the sea
To hold them to the shore,
In the middle of huge waves,
with no respect for anyone but Sun and Moon.
Today, as loneliness struck,
So deep that voiceless tears
washed away my conscience,
I held a heartbeat close to my chest,
the sole sound which marked
the epilogue to the book of my life,
few month before I actually saw
Pink small palms encircling my finger.
And suddenly I understood,
Earth will probably revolve around the Moon
when it is as crest-fallen as I am today,
and how a small piece of Iron could hold
the large ship together,
through the gravest of the tempests.
