Union Of Sorts

It was a night of separation
Weary I was coz something lacked in my preparation
What would I say or would I simply cry
To keep up a happy face, I would genuinely try
Lost in these thoughts, I reached my destination
The embrace that followed, was from my thoughts, an aberration
The embrace was careless but close
And surprised I was to find that nature had its own musical flows
The swaying trees, the hushing leaves and a warm winter breeze
Then, suddenly on my forehead, appeared a crease
Coz the magic of this reality, I couldn’t understand
Our hearts had begun a rhythmic dance in a ballroom so grand
They were taking chances to speak though silent we were
Mesmerized at their discipline and easy recognition of each other
Beat for beat, a language of their own
It seemed, already fond of each other, they had grown
The depth of this relation seeped into me at last
The embrace grew closer and our hearts started talking real fast
The faint streetlights made of us ‘one shadow’
Even the darkness of the night couldn’t conceal its glow
Amidst crackling of leaves, it seemed that nature had conspired this fate
And neither of us initiated the separation though both were running late
After a few minutes, reality dawned on us
And the spell was broken without much fuss
Staring in the faint light at each others half highlighted face
Twinkling eyes and bright smiles there were, even in this dark place
Sadness was at bay, coz separation this was not
This was the beginning of a union that destiny had sought……..
