To A Friend-
Listen, girl, these moments are clouds:
you let them pass and they’re gone.
Soak up their moist touch. Get
drenched.
Don’t waste a single drop.
Listen, downpours don’t remember
streets,
and sunshine can’t read roadsigns
Parveen Shakir, Urdu Poetess
What sound advice. Drink up our moments, for really that is all we are given.
