Border


Border

Crossing the line
Was dreadful
But not crossing was killing her.
She had to.
She did.

Will you hold guilty a cuckoo
For singing her heart out
On a tree
in the hospital compound
With ‘Silence please’ board?

Everyone crosses
You
Me
All
Yet cast stones at others.

HE gave a seamless world.

Harshad, don't we all dream of crossing that line. I am glad hers was fairly harmless. An excellent read, thank you.

Beautiful!

Seamless world ... indeed!

Yes we do cross borders all the time even those set by ourselves. He did create a seamless world and a heart that does walk or crawl, that borders would be able to hold it... the heart flies...

And we also do have to get to the other side of the other kinds of borders too; just to know which side is firmer or is it a mere perception that is building up borders of misunderstanding.


Beautiful write up Harshad sir
