Mehr,

Delicate lines and imagery, especially in ``After the rain``.
Goes to show that poetry can sing out even from very few words as long as they are strung together so hauntingly. Lovely, hope to hear more from you.

mehr yaqoob,

Thunders exist, perhaps, in the vacuity of the hollow between this earth the sky above. Matter morphing matter, noise shattering silence, atom upon atom a fetching completion `to be` it is not as in semblance to waves that level off before reaching the shore.

Yet you see him like a pacified delusion, obscure and forming, a dream adamantly priggish about waking up. Does he, too, see? - You.

Peace!
