Crushing

fluttering

times your heart is simply bursting
there is a physical and an emotional channel
that's ready to burst open
as you wait for it to do so
and to hear the gushing waters flow out
as you wait to feel the life
as the waters rush past you
engulfing you in its mirth
in its dance of life
of abundance
of joy

Be it as you devour the last few pages of a good book
or are climaxing towards the end of a movie you spent
a good three hours watching

a love story in real life, just taking form
or a painting that you spent days, months creating
and you stroke in the last dash of color
or politics...when you feel it within your being
that something in the air is changing
the romance of newness...of life...

Ah !! That's a moment worth living
worth waiting for
each time...every time

a moment
of hope

hold on...

'times life is on a whirl...
a roller coaster it seems
you may scream you may cry
but then it goes on and on seemingly
on a time band that's end less

hold on...

for when the ride's through and you
step out of the protective cabin
you know it was worth it
you love the rush that's still gurgling in your stomach
well, that's what life's all about
a roller coaster ride
with God protecting you
with gear of warmth and light and hope
through all the ups and the swooshing downs
and all you can do...is

hold on.
