just like any other man br let me put it this way, we all want br to wake up one morning wanting to see br a brighter sun br br a warm day, a bright morning br a gentle sunshine landing peacefully on our cheeks br our eyelashes waving a warm welcome too br our eyes glistening with hope br to the wings and songs of birds br perching and then flying away br br just like all men we want peace and harmony br of leaves clinging like stalks on a bark br like vines steadily climbing on trunks br br we want blue clouds well placed in the skies br and mountains settled in their proper places br and sea as vast and wide as our eyes can reach to see br br yet like ordinary happenings these things are not really true br there are driftings, there are inevitable flows br going nowhere, and then gone, and then we sit idly br on the shore now anchored on the truth br br we stare to a horizon. we expect nothing.br br RIC S.
