“Falling in Love To fall in love with this universe is to feel the whispering of winds, and sense how snow falls with silent ease, how the world gets hushed with a frost so deep. Love is in knowing those century-old stories are carved in the trunks and barks. Love is in knowing that it is the quiet fire in the cold. To fall in love is to feel how the forest holds its quiet peace, how stories are held in the sleeping stones of the earth, how drums still play beneath the frost, keeping the quiet fire still alive. Love is in knowing that though winter can blanket the earth, but it can never dim the spirit, For the old soul has fallen in love. Love is in knowing that the winds call the spirit, and when night falls, Star trails carry the memories in every strand of light. So you hear the quiet song, rising from the earth to your depths. Jayita Bhattacharjee”
