The Feeling

The feeling. That describes indescribable. That gushes past you like an unsuspected whiff of breeze. Reading a sentence that makes you see magic in words. Of how weaving of phrases can make you feel special and give you a strange feeling of light-headedness. Of finding a comrade who gets the same feeling as you just by seeing those turns of phrases.  
Fleeting inspiration from black and white photographs. From geometry in paintings. From seeing the colours of a Kathakali dancer. Reading a poem about God’s own country. Seeing in your head the green fields and white clothes, reflection of sunsets on still waters. 
Standing by the waves lost in your thoughts. Feeling the icy cold curl around your toes and the softness of the foam tricking back onto the horizon. Finding peace amidst bustling noise by thinking of the horizon. An unexpected sunset streaking the sky orange and making you forget the humidity. Catching the moon in between the branches of a tree. 
Listening to a song that makes you close your eyes and float on the notes. Synchronising. Watching a simple movie that makes you believe in love. Getting that pleasant feeling of anticipation and absorbing the emotions of the characters.

Looking at books all around you and wishing you had nothing else to do but soak in the magic of the place called the library. 

Inspiration that you wish you can grab by the horns and never let go.
