What do people do at 3 AM? They sleep right. I mean majority of them. But there are some people who don’t. 3 AM is the time when their brains reach optimum states. One of my friends started posting questions on his FB timeline at 3 AM daily.

I didn’t do any such thing. I was reading some book and suddenly it struck me, the idea of writing a poem. I got up, sat in upright position with my legs crossed, took a paper and a pencil and started writing. Of course I wrote something silly at first, which goes as:

Lost my soul in this wicked world,
in search for eternal glory;
not until I have seen your smile,
have I known what love is, what destiny is!!

And I had to change it. After few minutes, I wrote this:

As a captain of my soul,
I strived for eternal glory,
thirsted for immortal body,
asking for the path to Heaven;

Wicked was my soul,
Selfish was my aim,
Despair is that filled me,
Thought world was my enemy;

not until I have seen you,
not until I have heard you,
not until I have felt you,
have I realised, how wrong I was;

now I learnt the truth that
nothing as eternal as your smile,
nothing as immortal as my love,
that your presence is my heaven

Now I have a confusion as to what to name it. I thought ‘You‘ will be a good name.
Since I am unable to conclude, I am leaving it with name ‘You : A moment of Truth‘.
