in the arms of the night breathes
the suspense child of dawn
in its prodigious patience
waiting with closed eyes
as if in a nymph-filled reverie

where do we go from here?
is tomorrow going to be
much different than yesterday?

will it rain on me tomorrow
while I rush from my door to the
nearest train-station
like one amongst the herd
a shadow amongst the hordes
a dark soul amongst the ghosts?

and my taxing brain
gropes for some light in the dark
as the big search continues
as the child becomes a man
while tomorrow dawns

like a bowl full of wisdom cookies
only one of which can be had
at a given time

Sudhir, are you trying to tell me to keep my fingers out of the wisdom-cookie jar?  And that I can't have more than one?  Fudge.

"waiting with closed eyes

Oh, I do relate to this line. That is how I've felt for quite some time now, waiting to revisit these blue pages, and to read such words of grace and  wisdom again.  Thank you, friend.
