Time out.
This blog needs to hibernate. Will be back if/when it wakes up.

ARS BREVIS

There is
one art,
no more,
no less:
to do
all things
with art-
lessness.

ASTRO-GYMNASTICS
Do-it-yourself grook

Go on a starlit night,
stand on your head,
leave your feet dangling
outwards into space,
and let the starry
firmament you tread
be, for the moment,
your elected base.

Feel Earth's colossal weight
of ice and granite,
of molten magma,
water, iron, and lead;
and briefly hold
this strangely solid planet
balanced upon
your strangely solid head.


THE UNATTAINABLE IDEAL

We ought to live
each day as though
it were our last day
here below.

But if I did, alas,
I know
it would have killed me
long ago.

- Piet Hein

	Thanks a lot for dropping by. :) I don't think I remember you commenting around here before. And well... it does, in all honesty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't remember if I have commented here before either, but I have read every single post and each one at the poetry blog too. I had once mailed you about your poetry reminding me of Emily Dickinson but that was many moons ago. You went away for a very long while. It was really nice to have you back. I do hope that this time it is a matter of 'when' and not 'if'. Take Care. -vini (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hey, I remember your mail now. You were way too kind. Checked your blog today after ages as well. It has been made reader's only. Thought of doing something similar with this one, but blurty doesn't allow such restrictions. Might just migrate to blogger or LJ once I get the kind of time to transfer all the posts. It felt nice to be back as well, but not the same. I think this space has reached its maturity. Time to let go of it, like one does a grown up child. Take care and hope to bump into you again some time, some other place, maybe. :) Sarika. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
