the day has just broken loose a marathon runner in the final stretch running after night it has been a long one the light blue bowl wears a tinge of gold in celebration setting loose a pack of doves chasing one other an unwavering glide over the expansive sea the sea is on ebbing tide as fishermen pull their boats towards land the catch hasn’t been very successful but there will be fish for all, this evening tomorrow might be different that will be another race till then the night is going to play catch-up while the men of the land of the salty breeze catch up on their sleep quiet though is the breeze almost in mourning a sign, maybe of the darker days ahead but the local minstrel is still on happy tunes talking of glad yesterdays of the bounties from the sea when the catches used to be pleasantly large and less oily you and I of the city, hardly notice [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (04-14-2003 11:11 AM).] |

your title caught me...Saturday afternoon I saw my neighbors out back and the little boy of 4 was holding his first fish that he had caught with his dad. He was very proud to tell me his was the largest. I got my polaroid out and took a picture for them. The fish were grown in a hatchery, probably the only sure way of knowing they weren't contaminated. M |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Sudhir, this is wonderful, sweet friend, it saddens me to see the world being contaminated everyday and I pray we can somehow rehabilitate before all the oceans are defeated! (sad sigh) This is very heartwrenchingly honest, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

Another good poem... Keep writing! “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
