Moments

Cries of thousand crickets and single soul,

The island harks them all in a rhythm

Of their own. The obscure bell at temple

Fogged by the past of light and bowing heads,

Suddenly rings in a gush of drear wind.

Water moves in and out it goes bearing

The feet-marks of a lost play on the sand.

Where are they at this moment of tide? Now?

Back to a pent house? Moving through the path

Traveled by the others likewise? Nowhere?

None is there, so a miracle happens...

Thanks Poddar. I loved these line;

Water moves in and out it goes bearing

The feet-marks of a lost play on the sand.

"The feet-marks of a lost play on the sand." I think this is my favorite line.
