Have you ever felt so happy in a moment

Maybe after a phone call that lasted not more than 600 seconds

But made you smile all day after that

Because every once in a while, people say the sweetest things

And the euphoria in that minute makes you feel

That no riches in the world

Could make you even half as happy as you feel today

Have you ever felt so complete for a second

That you thought that life is most perfect in the now

And that joy came from nothing but a rooftop

That showed the wide sky to you

With clouds that looked like cotton candy

In the company of people you love too much

And the sounds of songs that sound much better in their voices

Than they ever did on tv

Have you ever felt the warmth of a person

When they hug you in a hurry

and you know that both of you don’t want to leave

so you just stay there, holding each other

and smiling in each other’s ears

wondering that throughout the years

you had waited for this time to come

and that if the wait was so long

is it fair that the moment passes by so soon

have you ever created something so magical

like a poem or a painting or a story

a character, a letter or a joke

that it felt like your own baby to you

that pride you feel when you show it around to people

and say- “you see this beauty?

I created it.”

because lately I find myself concentrating really hard

at my feet

wishing that they could grow roots

that stem out and tie me to this ground

this here, this now

and all my life, I've waited for wings

but in this moment, I guess, I can do without.
