even now
by O.P. Jha
sometime you look like dew-drops even now
glittering on the petals till the tough noon even now
sometime you flow as an uncared silence even now
filling up some voids in this busy town even now
sometime you fall as snow-flakes even now
giving time to lovers for living inside even now
sometime you sing a sweet note even now
releasing a lovely cue for going ahead even now
sometime for someone you smell sweet even now
O innocence! You glitter even in dark clumps even now.
