There is I am
where the white dawn with the flying pigeons is
where the golden noon with glittering afternoon is
where the silvering dusk with rhythmic twittering is
where the silent contemplating night with poetic words is
Yes there is I am
where this dawn to dusk, night to day, ground to sky
everything with the poetic expression is
And there is I am
where beloved poetry with Whitman's pensive pen is

Do you ever think life's long enough?
no matter what things you want to do
time seems to be the winner always
three score years and ten is so few
One's head can be full of thoughts
but still, feel plenty of room for more
they can be good and bad even neutral
it seems you're bursting open at the door
So many miles all over the world
think of all the walks you could walk
many parks and forests to go and visit
mountains aplenty but mind a block
Wish I could read more and more books
many categories like history, bio and the like
how to fit them all in, the hours so few
but exercise the mind never go on strike
People in so many places in the world
many of them are friends so dear
you want time spent with them all
time's all too short this I do fear
('I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.'
- John Burroughs (1837-1921) -American naturalist and nature essayist.)

In the corner
Is my pole star
Light and insight
Never blur
In the corner
Balm they are
For wounds of war
When sun is dark
Empty the park
In lingering pain
limps the lark
Inside the clock
Hours of shark
Roads are blocked
Rooms are locked
Sky has fled
Dreams are dead
I look for the corner
The soul warmer
Delight serene
Ever green
The brilliant shine
The mighty minds
The hill fountain
The lovely pens
Immortal stare
William Shakespeare
The world adores
Bard Tagore
Jibanananda
Clouds in calypso
Brilliant tussle
Bertrand Russell
I sit with them
Love the gems
A river shore
Ennui no more
Lovely grace
All silk and lace
Doves umpteen
My bookshelf green
In the corner
Shines the polestar

A breech of favored in between
is not the true essayist dream,
identities foregoing ream
is but identical in its seam!
Occlusion as the outcome's scheme,
a floating chance of origin
has none, but nature's begging scene,
doubt casting's fate becomes adjourn!
That placate stifles truth's concern,
while tensions buckle with their yearn!
