Green wrap He takes her there. His hands of protection are behind her back, lightly, like holding a fledgling. She closes her eyes. This is the world of her wish. The skylarks are flying in their busy schedule wisely drafted. The road of red dirt meanders into green fields. Stops there, becomes green, loses character, peters out in oblivion. He adjusted her crutches. Smiles sparkle in her eyes cornered in dark, deep black hole of sickness. This is not the place she has her birth, alike any child destined to go back wherefrom it has come, only a bit earlier. Still it is green like her birth-village. An early sunset is taking the stage of sphere. Green fields move inside the two lovers’ eyes. Assuring. A green world wraps the ever slipping moments from their lives… a world according to the lady’s last wish. clever talks delay friendship! |

quote: Oh, dearest Ku, this wonderful write is perfection and it will forever remain impressed in my mind ...and I will keep it of course. It is indeed our heart's wish to return home before leaving for HOME. You said it with immense sensitivity and beauty. When to our human hearts it seems too early to go, it is even more heartwrenching. And through tears I am reminded of my own wish to return to my mountains once again before my time comes ... But I do hope to stay a little longer down here ... my daughter just made me happy with the news that her third baby is on the way ... But you know, where there is love, there is no separation ... ever . Love and hugs, dear Poet. Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Kushal, you really have outdone yourself (again)! Your poetry is unbelievably mature for one so young. This is very, very sad, but simultaneously deeply beautiful and happy in the most important of ways. Margherita's response was (as always) very compassionate and beautiful. - Owl |
