Days come, days go..
Some special, some just to maintain the flow
Memories they all leave behind...
Some to cherish, some best kept away from the mind
Its been quite sometime since I started thinking about what to preserve of this Day (12-12-12) which would soon be just another page in the diary of my life.Oh.. I just realised that I already have so many things to remember.
Just as the clock struck 12, I closed my eyes and suddenly the world too seemed to have paused.. Maybe it was also welcoming the 'once-in-a-lifetime' day that is here.. NOW..We are all living in it. Must be my overworking mind.. But it did happen.. Or I thought that it did happen.
.
And to add to that was my uncle's congratulatory message that dropped in my phone's inbox. Just when I was about to check it.. Poof! It hung up.. Perfect! Seemed as if the universe was conspiring to make me spend and cherish a moment with my 'self' which quite often we all end up ignoring..
Today I feel content..An honest feeling.. Its as if I have finally found peace with what I am, what I was. I cannot really wipe away things.. Life didn't offer an eraser.. It would have been too perfect then, which is not what I like.. or would have liked or wanted..
'Perfectly Imperfect'- that's how I like it.. :)
If after many years.. someone happens to ask me- "What in particular do you remember of that day?"
I would ask the person to read this.. To know my state of mind.. That is one of the most precious things that I would like to relive when I look back to this day.
Events, people, things.. it all happens.. and it fades.. Its like the fog which clears when the sun shines. But the remnants of that fog is left behind on those pretty petals spread out like a beautiful carpet in the form of tiny droplets.. Shining and reflecting the beauty and brightness of the sun rays all around.. :)
And so are the memories left behind.. They make our lives sparkle with a strange glow.. They might not last forever but they replenish our lives in ways we never expected them to..
That's the beauty of today... This beautiful moment.. .This wonderful life .. :)
