The pregnant pause

The wooden bench,
Sitting pretty in the same park,
Shaded by the same tree,
Autumn leaves lay all around
Some floating in the gentle breeze
Evoking memories, so sweet, so profound,
The sun rays sparkling like gold trinkets,
The breeze humming a tune,
Melodious like she used to sing,
It’s been a decade,
My feelings are fluttering all over the place,
Like butterflies lost in a maze,
Footsteps forced me to gaze,
She cascaded towards me,
Like a goddess answering the prayers
Left me speechless in wonder,
Suddenly the environment burst with laughter,
Crystal clear, like the maiden river,
I followed the music
Looked behind her
To find her lookalike
Her childhood- revisited
Her daughter, her pride!
Everything around us
Lay dreadfully quiet,
Like death pondering on what to do next?
The only cause
That lingered around
Was the pregnant pause!

Aspiration- An acrostic

Aiming for excellence
Settling only for the best
Putting in all the effort
Inching towards the desired destination
Roaring with energy for the journey
Acquiring knowledge on the way
Tuning in for the change
Inclined towards perfection
Oscillating towards a brighter latitude
Never give up, is the attitude.

Restless!

So much to do
So much too
Myriad thoughts come and go
Frequent the mind’s shore
But never stay for a second more
Leaving the confused matter
To grope to and fro
Waiting for the tide
To wash all doubts aside
Gushing in with ideas bright
Removing the fog with sunny light
Restless is the heart
Restless is the soul
For the  luminescence
To pervade this eclipse!
