An enigmatic poem by Sushmita that transcends from the personal to the universal, exploring layers of love.
Sometimes,
When my strained breath is relaxed,
And my rhythm is a swing.
When the flowing breeze is cool,
And the fragrant gardenias are blooming.
Falling rain is a gentle patter on my face,
And my tired eyes are closing.
The salty sea water is lashing at my feet,
And the small grains of sand feel caressing.
I am all alone,
But not painfully lonely….
I know that I am waltzing a slow dance,
With the Universe.
But only,
Sometimes.
