The day the Earth shook

The wand moved.
The Colours dissapeared, the music stopped… the movements ceased.
She looked at me. I stared at her.
We didnt speak a word.
She stood there dumb.

Silence, if you can resonate peace in my life..I embrace you.
Gray shade, if you can fun fill my life.. I embrace you..
Stillness, if you can move my life to some distant land, I fall for you.

if only you can.
if only you can feel me.
if only you can read my heart.
if only you can smear the dryness.
I shall be on my knees.

Life,
not just days..
not just moments passed.
Life, not just you.. not just me.
Life, is us.. true you, true me..
true everyone around.
Life, is love..

The Gold poured down.. The red splashed.
Colours beware.. you can be mistaken.
Colours beware.. you require tenderness..
Colours beware.. you need to be valued.

The canvas was so incomplete.
She looked at me.
I stared at her.
And between us, Silence.

Silence, if only you can resonate love, I embrace you.
Colours, if only you can soothen my scars, I embrace you..
Stillness, I fall for you.

Stillness, I love you.
You have taken me back,
back to the days of my mere existance.
back to the days of the innocent smiles.
back to the days when love meant holding hands and a shy stare.

Colours, not you.. you are dazzling me..
She shook.
I faltered.
We didnt speak a word.

Colours, not you.. I cant see Red.
Colours, not you.. the Gold is all shining..
She streched her hands towards me.
Her Silence shouted compassion..

Its dazzling.. Its dazzling.
I stood there disturbed.
Dazzled, I closed my eyes
hoping all would dissapear.

A shriek.
The earth shook.
The wand moved.
The Colours apeared, the music resumed… the earth moved again.
