sunrise in fog

the sky is on fire
in the east

a scarlet stain bleeding
through a million prisms

flowing molten
into an ocean of white

birds like flying ashes
dart from tree to tree

and your heart
if it could

would pass like a net
through the shimmering blaze

to hold the flames
for an hour

like these cliffs
burned clean

each dawn
in a furnace of dew

You make me wait in pain for winters here in Delhi...

Loved it: "each dawn
in a furnace of dew"

Thank so much Firebird..Last day was a bit busy...after replying you there at mine, I missed to be here!

Yes, a nice visit..with just mom and me..wanted that to be longer..but then, I started missing my husband (only we two, no kids after 10 years of marriage, and I'm 40) and friends here on the blog and around...

Your comments too are very perceptive :-) Liked it much...

Hi Firebird!

Yeah I have some good friends...online and off...Its all about give and take...

'so much to give, and so little to take' is the rule though...
And reaching out to people helps! some may prove otherwise..but every experience is worthy..have a role in making each of us the 'I' we claim to be, no?

I got you because you reached out to me one fine morning...and I was there at yours, before you knew it...

I don't know..I just love talking with you...

i love to see great minds meet and share...as Gandhi met Tagore,
many many more...and these fine exchanges on the Web...I saw you at Janice's today...

so you love snakes too...I dread them, but can't help looking at then with awe!
