with the confidence of wax. It melted easily,
into river seeking route through tributary,
before a smiling sun rising somewhere in her mouth.

Our Lives
Our lives
are a seamless sentence
in the eternity of essays.
Commas are circumstances
that break us into meanings,
and meanings into us.
Death is not a full stop;
it begins another journey
of streaming alphabets
passing through life -
life is an infinity of thought.
