Tonight

Here, I lie. Snuggled under the blankets of cold nights. Pondering over the wonders of my life. Seething with the joy of content, of fulfillment of dreams long unanswered.

I have braved the cascades of incidents, and triumphed over the vicissitudes of the undefined. And the less stable.

I have etched a niche in the world. I have defined myself. Work, accomplishments, love. Most of all love. I challenged the odds and ended up not moving the mountainous circumstances, but finding the delicate softness of intimacy.

Right here, under these blankets, I found what I craved for, what everyone longs for. I searched, and was found. And I have never let go.

Yes, under the unblinking stars, amidst the soothing winds tonight, I lie.

And I wish to stop.
