Frozen

by Sukeerat Kaur Channi (15)
Sacred Heart Convent School, Ludhiana

Time stands still

Love, life,

Sense and conscience

Over, all over…

Time has lost its meaning

And here I stand

Frozen in a moment.

A moment which I can’t lose nor gain

Which I can’t surrender to nor conquer

I stand frozen in a moment

Of heaven and hell

Of angels and demons

A moment which exists against nature.

I’m frozen in a moment

Of love and hate

Of redemption and abomination

Of faith and temptation.

I’m frozen in a moment beyond all eternity

A moment undefined…
