Not many people get to have
meaningful conversations these days. Just yesterday I read a quote by Eleanor
Roosevelt. It said “Great mind discuss ideas, average minds discuss events,
small minds discuss people”. Ah! Now I get why I have always stayed away from
people who gossip and bitch about others. Doesn't it give negative vibes? I won’t
say I've never talked about people. Sometimes, it is the difference that makes
all the difference.
So yes, my dear, when
did you say we were going for a midnight to dawn walk? Ah! I hear the unspoken
words, they ring a jingle in this heart of mine. You being an owl won’t find it
too difficult. I might need plenty of caffeine to keep me walking through the
art, architecture and the conversations. Or maybe, if the fountain of your words
keeps pouring in the silence of the cool breeze, I’ll stay amazed and awake,
both at the same time. Oh! how I yearn for a day filled with words and a night
soaked with the silence of a full moon, the street lights and two hearts
absorbing and pondering over words exchanged, with hands not willing to leave
each other. Then, who knows as we walk by the lovely Danube, we come across a
man who asks for money in exchange of a poem he would write for us. What word
would you give him to write the poem with? What? Don’t you look at me, I’ll be
the silent one, filling my mind and heart with the wisdom you always offer.
You, dear Love, would
be expected to read the eyes and the thoughts, in case my gestures don’t give
away to the thoughts I would be thinking. I would take your hand by surprise
and glide through the stones of the walkway, doing a ball dance with a music
that only my ears would hear. I bet the dance would be a suave one, for your
grace would add a touché of giggles and laughter.
The beauty of the Renaissance
won’t let me sleep and
The music of the
moments shall continue to seep
One conversation leading to another, if you
may?
Not a mundane chatter,
but lessons to keep.
The silence of the
musings would glitter through the stars
Questions after
questions, with no answers asked
The swimming of the
time across the tides of dark
Into the dawn of hope
with rays being basked
Memories amidst the
nature
With words to float by
We started there, didn’t
we?
That’s where the hearts
got tied!
P.S: Do I even need to say that this movie "adds meaning to your life?":) For those who know what I mean and those who might want to watch to know what it means.
Love~ Aakriti
