A Prophecy

"If you're happy in a dream, does that count?”
- Arundhati Roy

One day the divine timing
Will cross the biological clock
People living and sleeping in eternal darkness
Will face a flicker of new sunshine.

Can you believe it?
There was never any past

Nor there will be any future.
The only moment we live is
Right now.

In the tender strings
Of the mysterious harp of time
You and me — 
We’ll keep circling around the loop of our lives
Forgetting when we were born
And when we’ll die.

It does not matter
If we keep coming back to each other
In different forms, different norms
Like eternal recurrence — like multiple lives;
Yes, we cannot live without love.
Conversing in silence
Is better than being lost in words.
