Time traveller had many choices

 

The Time traveller

Had many choices,

But she wanted to know

How it all started,

Or, how it will ever end.

Was the heart there

In the beginning?

And, will there still

Be a treacherous bend,

After it all ends?

What else is new?

 

Me:What else is new?

AI:News.

Me:Is the plural of new,

News?

AI: No, new is adjective,

News is noun.

Me: What will be the news

Tomorrow?

AI: I wish I knew.

The echo slowly dies

 

The echo slowly dies,

Answer it before it dies.

Some heart is searching you,

Someone is calling you.

The storm never ends

The storm never ends,

When one ebbs

Another brews:

Sometimes of rain,

Sometimes of sand,

Sometimes of snow,

Sometimes of dust,

And, sometimes of tears. 

Eye of the calm

 

Life is an exclamation mark

 

Someone wrote to me thus:

Life is a question, and how we live it, is our answer.

There is a truism, however:

Most times life is an exclamation mark, and on such times, we need no answer.

That was enough

 

He remembers nothing

Save that he was alive,

But, was that enough?

He remembers nothing

Save that he loved,

And, that was enough.

When I am the lighthouse

 

When I am the lighthouse

At the edge of the cliff,

When I await you

To wash ashore,

Impervious to the Flood

That will surely come,

Unmindful of the Apocalypse

That will surely come,

That's when

You and I will be free.

Love and fresh air

 

She was living happily

On love and fresh air,

Till they pumped in oxygen.

And, then she died.

Tree tops

 

What the tree tops talk about,

Do the tree trunks know?

What burden the incarcerated roots bear,

Do the tree tops know?
