Infinities in A Minute

There are the same number of moments in a minute

as in a life time.

Chop a minute into small bits.

Experience each moment intensely

Sit and feel!

A minute can feel like forever when you have to wait:

wait for the bus,

wait for news,

wait to understand,

wait for the sun to come out,

just wait.

How to feel a beautiful ecstasy of forever in a minute?

I want to feel that forever with You!

just sit,

and sit,

and make a minute into forever with You.

About the Poem:

This poem is not your typical love poem. I wrote this poem for my grandmother. When I wrote the poem, I was studying in Cambridge. My grandfather had just passed away across the seas, far away, in India. My grandmother had chosen for a bit to try and stay alone because she did not yet feel like losing the routine with her house. I kept seeing my grandmother in other older ladies her age in England. While walking, I met a lonely widow. I would visit her most weekends and bring her flowers. She would talk to me about her late husband. After one such visit, I wrote this poem.
