Certainty

I need to ask you something.

Do you know what calm feels like?

The kind of calm I felt,

two feet away from you

in an old wooden boat under the night sky,

looking afar at the quietly bustling ghats in Benaras,

Or further into the infinity touched by earthen lamps

floating in the Ganga

Or the sight of sun kissed hills 

from the window of a hotel room in Mussoorie,

Tell me,

Has a moment's stillness and certainty engulfed you like that? 

Drawn you in,

given you respite,

offered you hope,

made you feel at home?

Every moment,

I breathe with you, 

together - as Us,

has and always will.
