As the embers of the wrenching memories fade away <br />As the evening star falls from grace <br />As the intoxication of the beloved's moon disappears in the day <br />As the Sun scorches with his face <br />She breaks into a frenzied laugh <br />Laugh of madness <br />Laugh of pain <br /> <br />When the morning rays pierce her lonely heart <br />When the moonlight enters her wreathing breast <br />When her whole being laments from each part <br />When her world is sinking in her small nest <br />She breaks into a piercing cry <br />Cry of longing <br />Cry of loss <br /> <br />As a distant door shuts yet another opens <br />As the grieving night breaks into twilight <br />As the snake sheds the old and dons a new skin <br />As the blind gets bedazzled with divine light <br />She understands in a flash <br />Life reawakens <br />Life renews<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/b-28-pain-longing-in-a-flash/
