A SINGLE SILENCE FOREVER


I hear a poem in me
...

Each poet is a solitary voice sounding his own alone through the universe
Each one writes what only he or she can

My soul is whole in being with itself
Here now

Passes without a line in mind-
A day without Poetry
Is a day almost all of us have
At one time or another-

After two – thousand years of exile

THERE IS A POEM SOMEWHERE

There is a poem somewhere
No one knows

hid itself inside,
