if you listen hard enough,
sounds of joy will pour through
echoing ever so faintly
from pain’s dark corridors
where shadows vulgarly dance

life holds strange mysteries
quite difficult to unravel
perhaps it’s in best interest
to let sleeping dogs lie --
stop asking where or why
do butterflies fly?

particularly those that you wish
to hold in soft warm palms
in an eternal rejoice
like sweet dreams broken
by acid sharpness
of winter’s morning air

but even the coldest winter
has to give space
for spring to be born
for flowers to blossom
for butterflies to return

and then the faint sounds shall
fall easily on your ears
as easy as chuckles
of a gleeful newborn
cradled in loving arms

----------
Wishing You all a Very Happy New Year ...

May the year 2003 provide many reasons of enjoyment and happiness in the comfort of good health and prosperity...

A very fine piece...especially that last stanza and the image it displays.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

The change of seasons brought me Autumn this week, Sudhir... A newborn bearing her name... What more could I ask for a New Year...

Happy New Year to you, my friend...

Sudhir,
I would ask where the butterflies and why, except you beat me to it.

Sudhir, this is reminiscent of
your early poetry here at Passions...
we've been around quite a while,
my friend...

it's always good to see you come by
with your writings...
