Just A Little Time…

~ Varna

Just a little time,

moments, reason and laughter…

Just a little time is enough.

To make a familiar face fade away,

To forget what the fingers and toes felt like…

To put away the long hours and the shorter days,

Just a little time is enough.

To replace the red of the shirt with the red of a new dress…

To replace your music with my silence,

To replace and fill,

Just a little time is enough.

And still I wonder how ‘little’ is enough?

In the trees, in the busy streets, in your empire and in my home…

Just a little time is enough.

To make what was ours – into yours and mine…

Just a little time is enough.

One thought on “Just A Little Time…”

  1. Varna, I always missed the updates on this blog… thought you’d be very busy. Very happy that you took Just a little time to this write out.:-) The second last line takes me back to Gulzar’s classic Mera kuchh saman.

    Please keep writing.:-)
