a "thing" of Beauty!!

Our Tavera was moving at a constant speed and dint provide much of a variation; and as we were traveling at night, the view outside dint provide much of a treat to our eyes.....nothing seemed to bring my eyes to rest so I could get a little sleep, after the previous night's journey and a whole day of activity I was supposed to have been exhausted.....but somehow I was not!!

As I was trying to figure out my surroundings inside the van, suddenly something moved....and my eyes acknowledged the attention immediately....they got anchored at the object.....!!I had never seen such a beautiful thing in my whole life......the shine, the sparkle, the tenderness still breathes strong in my heart...!!!the cool night air brushing through the tuft of her hair bringing its sweet smell, just chases away all the tiredness, pain and all such other things, the mortal body tries to bring with it.....the sight of her tightly shut eyes, the glistening white cheeks and the flying about strands of her beautiful tresses are enough to take the breath away of the most ferocious of beasts...!!

Holding in arms

The lights inside the vehicle were turned off and thus did not suffice for a clear view....so I had to wait for passing by vehicles to help me with their big bright headlights to have a clear view of the beautiful thing I was holding in my arms.....holding her was the most amazing feeling I ever had in my whole life.....her face so amazing and so fresh and the trust she had in me was clear in her blissfully-at-rest face......her pale white forehead was clear with no worries...I held her tightly close to my heart lest the jerks in the vehicle could break the sanctity of her celestial sleep.....I removed a few strands of her hair which had mischievously wandered into her face, so I could always have a full view of the delicate beauty, sleeping so adorably in my arms!!

I could see her chest heave up and down as she breathed, and this was all so faultless that sometimes I had to pinch myself to remind me that I still dwelt on this earth.....her tiny eyes moving inside the tightly shut eyelids, made me wonder about what might she have been dreaming about.....but it did not take me long to come out of those thoughts cause she suddenly rubbed her nose and turned around and put her face inside my chest to make it feel much more cosier....I kissed on her enchantingly beautiful forehead and she opened her all so mesmerizingly beautiful eyes and gave the most beautiful smile an angel could ever lend a mortal human...I could feel the strong beatings of my heart and I loved it as it was for such a beautiful thing in the universe...and then I kissed her....I closed my eyes n she closed hers and we felt the love flowing in our hearts.....we both prayed silently that it remained the same in our hearts our whole life long.....

I wished I could always hold her so close to me and she could always sleep so blissfully in my arms for eternity while I enjoy the beautiful creation of God and praise Him for it...and on that very night I could actually understand the true meaning of the sentence

                         "a thing of beauty is a joy forever"!!
