Sanctum
Ahead the path rises, winding far
into the sanctum of the evergreen
toward the darkening sky. Unseen,
unbidden, an airborne omen—an inkling
of its shadow like a shaman on the wing—
quickly sweeps the startled brush,
disturbing the haven of dusk-distilled hush,
as a raven's mock laughter causes
my blood to chill. My heart pauses;
as suddenly as it arrived, the bird
subsides. A sole fir is left bestirred,
its trembling hands silhouetted in twilight,
as if it too might be moved by the sight
of tattered shrouds of cloud catching fire
in the transmutation of sunset's pyre,
while a newly minted moon on the rise
smiles upon the death its light defies.
So are these days in dissolution,
when the once luminous resolutions
of the past have been obscured by doubt;
when, undeterred, I've strayed without
objective, along an unexpected track,
leading me, like a sudden switchback,
into the dejàvu of a long-lost springtime,
when a journey another heart made to mine,
that faithful in each step, each beat,
never failed to find a path, or to meet
my wandering love. And now I see,
as these memories slip into the mystery
and I feel so infinitesimal beneath the sky,
should my heart be lost then so would I,
and the firmament in its slow turn.
No, I cannot know the journey's end,
nor how long I've left to ascend,
but in my soul a light does burn,
bright as heaven's first evening star.

The above Drama/Comedy/Love-story/Thriller was brought to us by 'Space-Time Productions,' in affiliation with 'Divine Inspirations,' written and directed by the infamous Bollywood mad-genius, Mr. Angryidiot, starring himself playing ALL the roles.
My friend, I think you may have overlooked your true 'calling'. Maybe you should move to Hollywood ... that's where the Big Money can be made. ;-)
okay one last one , and I will call it quits for today ,danny...
once danny goes to the doctors. its a new doc in town and when he goes there he see his friend there , coming outside with tears in his eyes...
danny: what is the matter?
friend: you know..blood test? they take a small sample from the finger...?
danny: of course
friend: the new doc cut my finger into two! the damn doc cut off me damn finger!
danny immediately runs away..takes off...jet speed.. and only to be seen in the bar the nex day so the friend asks him..
friend: why the hell did you run off?
danny: well, i was there.... for a "urine" test!
bye danny..... good night dear freind...
good night...... come on say good night..
"what a bastard that raven" cried one of the 2 wolfs(younger one) who were seeing the entire thing happenning ...... to that dumb old canadian mountain goat.
lucky we saw what is in this goats heart, otherwise we would have pounced and had him! excalimed the wolf. the other wolf(older) laughed.
and it was just about to pounce on the goat and kill it for a well earned dinner , while the young one howled alerting our goat , which ran safely, away to sanctum.
why you idiot the wolf cried...?
how can we, after we know the heart of this goat shouted the other...
you bloody idiot...let me ask you a thing...who do you think has a more soft heart than this old goat who is dissolving his years into.....??will this be a goat or a blade of grass right under your feet?
mmmmm. this blade of grass of course said the young wolf. (Now one can contest it , but it was simply an opinion of the younger wolf...he has the right you know!!because wolfes think in simple terms.A goat is bigger and harder than a blade of grass).
now what do you think , that this goat grew into a goat without eating such zillions of blades? uprooting them out of the ground? how would you feel if i uprooted a teeth out of your stinking mouth....?
what nonsense..the younger one cried , how would the goat have survived....
then there is cruelty and badness in ever ones heart and that raven is not a bastard shouted the old wolf...and I am not wrong in trying to kill the goat..and the GOAT was also not wrong in eating that blade of grass.
I dont know!!! said the other wolf ... you can go along and try again, but i cant do this it said.
the old one too gave up and went away with the younger one.
seeing this the devil laughed , there is only badness ultimately he/she excalimed...i am content afterall.
also seeing this God smiled in happyness , only goodness will remain....
the entire thing was seen by one small child and his mother...
which is correct said the small child......
both the wolves and the devil and the god ...all were as wrong as hell. Only the goat was ! everything in his heart he put up there ...there is no ocean big eneough to dissolve them into!concluded the mother....but when you have too many sweets dont i give you something sour..good for your digestion?
i understand said the child , thats what the raven is for!
no my child said the mother it happens when the soft goat uproots the softer blade of grass and eats it.
mother you allways rose up things said the child....what can i do i am a mother.....
danny should every one be only blades of grassess? I really do not know danny ...not that i care...but how should a human live? his life is full of vooilence danny! how should a human live!?damn it!!!!
