Joyous and ecstatic, <br />On the banks of <br />Mother Ganges, <br />I didn’t want to look <br />Over my shoulder, <br />And wished time <br />Could stand still, <br /> <br />And with the imprint <br />Of that moment, <br />I could just die… <br />But that is not in <br />The scheme of things… <br /> <br />For I knew better, <br />Pain waited in the aisle <br />With a benign smile…<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wish-that-couln-t-be-granted/
