a friend asked "say, what do you do when you are all by yourself sitting amongst blocks – furniture, old and new, in your 4 by 3 room with the curtains drawn all by yourself? what do you do?" and I had nothing to say my voice seemed to suffer a stiflingly silent moment so I thought hard as I sometimes do in between of so many long moments of NOT thinking soon all my thoughts began to settle like fresh coffee soon I had so much to say so many tunes to hum so many lines to sing and each one was filled with happy moments those little happening ones as I celebrate memories of you in snapshots of your smiles yes, that’s what I do when I am all by myself sitting, staring at the floor when ginger streaks of light disturb the dark, settled air of my 4 by 3 room cutting through the binds of long curtains yes, I think of YOU in scenes of happy recollect |

Sudhir....You still have the touch my dear friend....I love this ending... "yes, that’s what I do when I am all by myself sitting, staring at the floor when ginger streaks of light disturb the dark, settled air of my 4 by 3 room cutting through the binds of long curtains yes, I think of YOU in scenes of happy recollect" Nice touch and love the wordsmithing you applied in this! Excellent!! I must think of some other question to ask you...... |
