My words fade in the daylight
They surrender to the sun
But when dark descends
They exist  ponderously-
Give out everything that
 The day fails to reveal

Who Is My ' Not-I'
It’s a tough  , tough  call
Too..too many things to recall
A few sticking on as remembrance.

The Circus Has Left Town
What struck you first

where a congregation of stars transfigure into a winged-galaxy

On a summer`s day
I was  on the beach
Waves were playing
The sun was shining
And the whole world 
Was saying: ``That is all``
