I looked far with a searching gaze Starting from a point quite so near Through the distanced remote passage For as much as my eyes could stare. I saw these lights from outer space, The luminous giants of expect Sprinkling rays of buoyant upbeat Into the depths of inner space. I closed my eyes to feel the feel Of dolphins jumping with wide smiles, Of life blooming in pleasant glow, Of songbirds singing, winged and free. I felt the green grass, young and fresh Dancing like reeds in flowing breeze Eden no more remained a dream, It was right there where I could feel. Sincerely then, I thanked my gaze Realizing how things do change, If one just wished to see inside What one wished to have seen outside. ~*~ [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 06-07-2001).] |

beautiful words Sudhir, a vision I think we all wish would be come a reality. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |
