As I wandered by, he caught my eye,
he sat there in serenity,
immaculately dressed with a turban on his head,
creating magic with his fingers,
as I found myself stop by, and linger.
He was tranquil, indulged in his melody,
unstirred by his surrounding,
as he played his own symphony.
I stood there with an empty heart,
as thoughts arose and tore me apart.
Had I forgotton how to live,
while trying to chase a mirage,
trying to fill all void,
while I had stopped listening to my inner child voice?
When did I stop chirping and dancing in the rain?
Was I ever going to uncover that person again?
When did I wrap myself inside a cocoon?
How long does it take to evolve?
I want to break-free, breathe, and start flying soon.
I stood there still in transendence,
thinking about all the debris of emotions,
it was time for me to leave,
the race of life called for my attendance.
Stared into his deep set of eyes, and unobtrusive smile,
his music was incantation,
Did I break the shackles?
I found myself hum my unsung melody,
I took a vow for a new life,
as I walked down the aisle,
for yet another beautiful thousand mile.
