What Once Was And Will Never Be?

"What once was and will never be?"
"The waves in that turquoise sea", said she.

There still are waves
And perhaps there still will be
But they are not the ones that once were
For they are different :
The kiss between the breeze and the sea.

"What once was and will never be?"
"The fragrance of that first cosmos", said he.

There still are flowers of cosmos
And the perfumed air still lingers
But the one that bloomed first, that day of all
Would never ever be, even if time would stall.

One more time, 
"What once was and will never be?"
They agreed to answer that together 
When both were ready, at the count of three. 

The letters* still are, and so are the words in it
Once they were mine, but not anymore, even a single bit
For they are now yours, my words and my thoughts
Though still mine, it has You, in days of warm winds
And even of frost. 

The night wind still whistles in the cold 
But that bleak mood, there's none of it to behold
My every breath that once was mine, is now yours
Though still mine, it has You, in days of warm winds
And even of frost.

About Me

My photo
As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
