Oceans Within the Chalice

No skill alone can shape the sea of thought; but grace may bend the mind, and pour vast oceans into me, a chalice; truth's redefined.

Revered Ma'am, your kindness crowns this small creation with a rare light; if the verse has found a place in your thoughts, the ocean within has found a blessed horizon. Forgive my recent silence, for I have been immersed in the labour of a poetic series; yet believe me, I have missed the noble souls like thee whose grace makes this journey luminous. With deepest gratitude, Mohit
