something unique happened one shiny blade of silver white travelled through the fringes of a prism; and quietly, it left - just as it had come but not without splitting itself in those marked colours; all of three - red, green, and blue a spectrum of a triad thus formed then I scratched through my most recently etched memory to see the light between the red, green and blue just to check the hue and I got stuck right there in between the sea of the blue and the green peeking back to see, hoping to find the shadows that light had left behind my thoughts meandered as I looked at a rainbow smiling through the sky- it was raining through the day of the winter sun somehow a straying beam of light passed through a wet bead and this time I saw them colours all of seven, from violet to red... yet what surprised me was that the blue and the green were seated next to each other - they felt like best friends it was so strange, or so I thought that within the tiniest of gaps that exists a lot between the blue and the solid green how many shades of green do we care to perceive? after all there are more than sixteen million colours that our eyes see, but only few they really notice how many shades of green can we possibly take in? best buddies them both the blue and the solid green blended by that good feeling of bonding, connected in their lives by these million-odd shades of green!

Sudhir~ What a mind of sheer visionary beauty could see into this 'inspire' ... My, you make it look so easy ... and I know it's not~ I'm impressed with the loveliness of thought here~ I enjoyed the fact that you e-mailed me that you were 'still enjoying' yourself. That's what it's all about, my friend~ Thank you for sharing~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I have said before that I need to put bells on my fave poets in here so I cant lose them...these pages just move so fast now that its becoming impossible to keep up.. then add in my tired slow computer that wont let half the poems I click on load and that all add up to me missing great work.  BUT I didnt miss this gem... Congrats on being one of the challenge winners my poet of Brilliance  Its not like you to say sorry, |

I had held back a comment on this, for when I read it, I knew it to be a winner in these eyes of green....but darn it, I'm so proud of you for this one...such insight, depth, accomplishment of pen.... I've known for quite a while why I like your writing...now even more know! Congratulations, Sudhir! |
