We have trysts to keep in the darkness, but where or with whom -- of that we are unaware.
But we have this faith -- that a lifetime's bliss will appear any minute, with a smile upon its lips.
Scents, touches, sounds, snatches of songs brush us, pass us, give us delightful shocks.
Then per adventure there's a flash of lightning: whomever I see that instant I fall in love with.
I call that person and cry: 'This life is blest!
For your sake such miles have I traversed!'
All those others who came close and moved off in the darkness -- I don't know if they exist or not.
~ Rabrindranath Tagore ~
From Chaitali (1896)
