In the blink of an eye- Vishakha Gupta

Tracing the rim of his glass

Like brushing his thumb across my lips

Lost eyes boring over pools of amber swirls

Like drowning in my depths as the end would just begin

Women at the bar, blur all but one

Looking as beautiful as that night wen we were young

Wild hair and full of laughter

Hand in hand dancing the night away

Travel and adventure was all we had in sight

A tryst in the pub alley led to LIFE

Welcoming our first born was a blessing in disguise

What came after was a house full of smiles

In the blink of an eye fifty years gone by

The noise the cries the clutter the fights

The laughter...and now the quiet..

Quiet as my eyes only find hers

Music in my ears leading towards her

Crowd cheering us on, the family we made

Hand in hand we dance the night away!
