Caught in the web of dreams |

Web wise The fear drops from its light brown wings; this is not home; at least not for a bird. Little sparrow flaps its wings in madness; flaps them so hard. Living room, staircase, it is humming past your mute chair. But how can you help, you cannot locate your own way out of this golden web. =© 2009 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar = Dream depth Dreams are the Leatherback tortoises lazing across the Caribbean’s; the blue water and columns of sun. dreams have seen the ruins, the pieces of lost cities, Atlantis; buried. Dreams have touched the fossilized white bones of a father, a fisherman, who sunk. The boy wakes up, runs on bare feet towards the shore where his dreams are. =© 2009 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar clever talks delay friendship! |

Both of these are outstanding! I'll tuck them away into my library. Thank you, for sharing. |

Dear Ku, you are a painter-poet who works with hues of compassion. Young man, while reading you there is the perception of the sacredness of life, tangible always despite sadness and pain. Most beautiful work. Love, Margherita |

Echoing Margherita's beautiful words, Kushal. I hope the dear little sparrow got out of the house safely without too many extra frightening little heartbeats. And what a beautiful (as always), original (as always) spell-binding (as always) poem about dreams. I am still watching the sun-splashed sea water on the shells of those magnificent leatherback turtles . . . Owl |
