Jump-Rope Rhyme (Tom Hansen)
Tat tvam asi: thou art that- that leaf, that tree, that cow, that cat, that cloud, that sky, that moon, that sun, that you, that I- for all are one. So here you are and there you go and who you were you hardly know. I think this I is only me: a drip, a drop, but not the sea. Yet when I wake from all these dreams, then like the snake, I'll shed what seems: this mask, this skin, this ball and chain. I will begin to fall like rain. Our heart's last home: the wind-whipped foam, the sweet, deep sea. Tat tvam asi. "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. " "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. " George Bernard Shaw |

The kid sat in balcony playing with fairies
and lovely dreams of gingerbread home but I had died long ago Moon was smiling down on a slated red roof and the Jasmine was smelling as sweet but I had died long ago silken mist covered the glorious night and soft music floating down the street but I had died long ago And there was silence of silken wraps soft whispers and wispy words but I had died long ago. sunshine wokeup and kissed the mornign dew and sparrow munched on crispy bugs but I had died long ago ---- And today they met again and chattered and flattered and catered to each other's whim He ordered buttered crabs And after lot of contemplation she settled on savoury shrimp To mark the special occasion they had finest wine Ritz offered filling crystal glasses to the brim And playfully waltzed and kissed caressed as lights on dance floor go dim he confessed love: she professesd adoration they were lost in each other as if wooing god with a hymn In the morning he kissed his wife and she started the power packed day as usual working out in the gym |

There is a literary genius bottled up somewhere within. Unleash the full force of this talent & a great poet would be in the offing.
