When I get much exhausted, I turn sad at noon
I fall down in passion like the trees in the dry season -
When all the hopes and possibilities are far away
Only then, being motivated, I search for the face of a painter - tears roll down.
All the dusts of life get lost in a jiffy. The life- force feels like ending in the darkness.
Then I get back life at the intent of the God. Poetry comes down from the sky on a roll.
Being unimaginably helpless in the easel of the time - I cross from the banks of the sea
Tell me, my girl - how could I ignore His favor?
