Fleeting moments

Image from http://redlipsandicecream.tumblr.com/page/20

To persevere is to endure. There are things that brush past you and before you’re able to turn around and catch hold of it, it fleets off again. A teasing strand of long hair on sensitive skin, an accidental tangle of fingers, a vision of childhood dreams that creeps up in the chime of ringing phones and crisp business suits.

In a time that seems like eons ago now, I remember the fiery sun being swallowed in sips by mountains and the endless horizon, the whisper of a breeze running its silky fingers through my tangled hair, and the haunting scent of wild flowers. Lulled by the sweet sweet music of waves greeting shore, I turned to seek a friendly face, a hand to hold but I was alone. The undulating waves, and gathering dusk, carried that wish of mine, the day will come when I find that person.


Obsession to some, might be mere survival to others. I don’t want to reach out in dreams only to wake up clutching air.

In the meantime, you can always turn to Him... Just say a little prayer and it can be comforting to know that He is always there!
