I miss... missing you chasing you wishing for you to wish for me. I miss... excitedly telling you who I am and who I wish to be. I miss... not knowing when I would see you hold you exhale your breath. I love us now... don't misunderstand... but the anticipation and the adventure at times get over-powered by the day. I miss... our breathless creativity and the almost violent need to be close.

I Miss...Missing You
You have been with me from the start soft Hard, never bothered which one you were When I was young at heart. I used to pull you my second brain, little soft Then long and hard,as I grew, you grew with   Me a friend that never left. Only in the cold I Wondered where you are. The years did pass and hair you grew, where Once I had pulled, now you just went hard. Embarrassed I was as always hard around The girls, some laughed while others played With it spitting at them when excitedly hard. Age moved on my friend for life still with me Still getting hard but when I wanted you no More embarrassment on my face at random hard. My second brain, getting wasted each day, never Unclean as cheesy smell I do not want as girls would Run a far. We played in the wetness we have come so far letting The children out in the damp park. My wife screamed Harder deeper my god your big I love your hardness Up me and the children were excited out of the umbrella They went a bit to far. You have been with me through the soft and the Hard, got me in trouble, now three children later I must end your spitting but you can still go hard. ***** your my friend to the end when we had no One a palm and a video was are night in, then softly You went as to sleep in my palm, from the beginning Through the soft and the hard.

An Ode to my *****
Far on a lunatic sea, filled with tranquility and serenity, love and devotion, some flowers have made it their goal to bloom in purity, Innocent looking, sweet and with a scent from amongst the heavens, Tricking their foolish, mindless pray to come closer to them while seeping in spite and hatred, longing for revenge for their reflection, A soft breeze accompanies the starlit sky, transient moonlight lurks through in a ghastly, bluish horizon as it rises to claim the heavens for his own once he had reached its fullest phase, ahh those phantoms, Gone mad through a night full of punishment and bloodshed, Before the petals can scatter in a dawning sky they seek for an intent, Finally an attempt would be able to be made, a pity human draws near, weeping in sorrow and grief, causing them to shake excitedly As then their roots would rush out of the ground and imprison him, Twisted illusion of diversion, as they pierce through skin and bones, dragging his struggling, flailing body underground,remaining unseen Feeding on his blood, using his corpse as a fertiliser they stay pure, Moved for one instant, they dive deeper into the soil of this landscape Hatred twines around them, causing disturbance in their memories, It is alike to be left in an accelerating world of recurrance, everlasting, Until the sunrise has dyed the sky in red and everything replicates ~ Umi

Lilies of Murderous Intent
A hairy ball of energy Who loves to run and play, Whose tricks and tomfoolery Would brighten any day. Almost hyperactive, Without doubt lively, Incredibly inquisitive, Exploring constantly. Chewing on everything, Peeing everywhere, Not fond of house training but slowly getting there. Extremely mischievous, Just wants to have fun, Loves to get pets from us, Each and everyone. Yapping so excitedly At everyone and everything, Such an incredibly funny Lovable little thing. Who looks at us imploringly With great big brown eyes That we fell in love totally Should come as no surprise This lovely little puppy Right from the start Became one of the family, Captured every ones heart.

Puppy Love
My aged mum excitedly points outside White flowers burst open bright overnight She says they look like popcorn I love her metaphor and play along Flowers white like popcorn bright Tickled by the heat of the micro light Mum speaks of small things in her big age Sun, rain, wind, hot, cold, quite days The unrelenting pain in her legs and memories of things she could once do with ease She speaks of the coming and going of mischievous monkeys real monkeys - not metaphors She tells of how they brazenly steal her fruit when she is alone at home - teasing her as they walk backwards out the glass door slinging their stolen bananas like a colt 44 My mum sits across from me the sun gently brushes her short silver grey strands of hair Today she wears a pretty pink dress - patterned bright with pretty pink and blue flowers - reflection of the pretty flowers outside She sits in serenity - she is at peace - inside My niece pops corn in the microwave My sisters biryani fills the hungry air My brother in law awaits his birthday party I am at home The pretty white flowers silently blossom in the yard I sit across from my metaphor mum My poet, my muse, my loving bard Stanley Arumugam Richards Bay

Flowers like popcorn
Once upon a winters eve, there was a young little fox. As she played around in the forest and snowy plains she kept trying to walk along the thick snowbanks. But she always seemed to fall into the snow. In the distance there was a older, but still young, snow leopard, watching and giggling as the little fox kept falling through. The snow leopard decided to get up and walk closer to the fox and softly he said with a happy laugh, "so what are you trying to accomplish?"The little fox looked up at the leopard with an annoyed looked as she poutingly explained, "The snow is to high and I am to small, and I can't seem to walk on top of it." She then sighed softly. The snow leopard laughed and smiled, "You can't just jump on it then. You can't try to walk on it," the leopard said with a grin. The little fox looked up at him in befuddlement with her bright blue eyes. The leopard slowly walked around the snow hole she was in and proceeded to explain, "You have to let it lift you," he smiled, picking her up by the scruff carefully, takeing her out of the hole and softly placing her on a less deep part of the snow bank, "Only when you understand this, may you be able to walk atop the snow."The little fox was still confused but was willing to learn, "What do you mean 'let it lift you'?" the little fox asked. The leopard smiled and lay on the snow, sticking his paws into the snow, "Every flake, like us, is different. Each one being different gives it it's own type of life, melting fast, or melting slow. Sticking firm, or lightly." he then softly blows the snow off his paws into her direction, "You have to let life of each of the snow flake be as unique as your life is and let it lift you. Let them lift you, as if it they were trying to show you somewhere new, to bring you places." He got up and started walking off atop of the snow, but then stopped and turning around and said with a big smile "Now do you see?" The little fox was still kinda confused, but when she looked at the beautiful snow, and saw each snowflake, a different shape, a different size, she smiled and believed what he said. The little fox looked back up at the leopard and softly placed her paw down on the snow before she said to him softly, "I think I get it..." She was afraid but she slowly started walking on top of the snow, step by step, not looking down, But looking to the leopard as she got closer to him. The leopard with a happy laugh, smiled and congratulated her, "There you go. Like a natural." The little fox smiled brightly and ran up to the snow leopard happily and excitedly asking him, "What can you teach me next?"The leopard laughed and patted her head with his paw. "My my, Looks like I have a little apprentice" the leopard said with a smirk, "We shall see where the wind and sun takes us and what lessons we have to learn as the days go on," the leopard said as they both started walking out into the setting sunlight.

Visiting a friend on his Quarter Horse farm, the day sunny and warm. We walked out to his brood mare pasture, the ladies were running, awaiting and sunning, anticipation in the air and their nervous behavior. Noble his name, consistency his game, a reliable aging stallion, sire to many fine sons and daughters, years of proven pairings, came halter led and prancing. He had their scent and his spirit awakened, the three ladies believed to be in season began to snigger and whinny, their excitement growing as the stallion entered their grassy domain, the dance was about to commence. The handler led the big fella' forward, both sides began their quizzical inspections. one young filly more aggressively willing than the others. Noble excitedly returned her heightened interest. Within a few minutes Noble began to rear up, he knew his job, his august appendage extended, trying several times to mount his mate intended, adrenaline pumping his back legs began to shake, on his fourth failed attempt the eager proven suitor fell to the ground, rolled over, paused for a moment and struggled to stand on unsteady legs. Appearing even somewhat embarrassed. The mare moved aside, kicked her hind legs in the stallion's direction, whinnied loudly and ran away. Rejected the old stallion stood looking perplexed, failure was something unknown to him. His spirit was willing but his aging body was weak. The old stud slowly returned to the barn, his head hung low, no longer prancing. For every time and being there is a season, aging is part of the cycle, like this stallion, we all reach this moment of understanding. Sometimes gracefully, most times with stunned disbelief. From Noble to nothing in one afternoon.

When we fell asleep video chatting every night for a month When I cried because you were the first person to make me feel like I wasn’t alone When you excitedly told me about kissing a girl in a cemetery When you sent me videos of your dirt bike When we went cruising and listened to songs from our favourite band When you tried to teach me how to game When you told me everything you love about your girlfriend When you talked about engines and cars with me even though I didn’t understand When you saw I was feeling bad even at the one place I’m always happy When you didn’t ask questions when I asked you to get rid of my razors, but instead told me how proud you were When you held me as I cried, knowing I hate crying in front of people When you let me fall asleep holding you even though I was cold and wet When you held my hand when we woke up on the day when everyone had to leave When you let me hug you a hundred times because you knew how much I’d miss you When you gave me closeness and friendship and love unlike anything I’d ever known before When we sat in my porch for 3 hours after fireworks were shot at people during a party, so you could make sure I was okay When you let me cuddle you even though your friends would give you a hard time When you told me you’d help me out if anyone ever hurt me When you took a selfie with me When you carried me everywhere *** I was tired When you held my hand going down a steep trail because I couldn’t see and you knew I was scared When you brought me extra food because you knew I skipped lunch When you were protective over who I was friends with When I came over to your house for the first time and we made pizza, gamed, and hung out with your family When you had you first kiss with me When you always showed you were protective of me and became the big brother I never had When you told me you were bi on the first day we met When you told me that only people you know well or that you like get to know you’re bi When you cried and told me all your favourite facts and memories of a friend who had betrayed you When you told me I had a cute nose When you fell asleep holding my hand When we hugged eachother after not seeing eachother for a year When we kissed for the first time When we kissed more When you were my date When you told me I was the only non-celebrity you’d go gay for When we danced together When we agreed to have an annual one week relationship When you were the first girl I loved When I met these people I never thought we’d get to the point were at now. I doubt I’ve effected their lives as much as they’ve effected mine but it doesn’t even really matter because I have them and that’s all that matters to me

Regret melts slow, dripping from the side. It feels like skin being tugged against, the impression left from my hand to yours. The anticipation of being patient burns and flickers, excitedly proud to be included. Your back, the wick that stands straight, slowly curving, stretching, releasing tension. Your legs wrapped in mine. If you were to blow too hard, the flame would whoosh, leaving nothing but a puddle. The people we were staring, looking at the mess. The rest of my strength supports your arch, the curled wick that's grown tired against my chest. No matter how you lay, I am comfortable in your wild stretch. Sleep surrounding both of us— I have your back, your heart. The crisp edges of your hair tangled On my head The smoke of desire soots and breathes, dried in a puddle of wax

Nose pressed to the glass I'm smiling brightly as you grasp my hand My other hand reaches up and touches the tanks coldness. Aren't they beautiful? I lovingly exclaim- Squeezing your hand excitedly. Lets come here again, okay?

Medusozoa Exhibit
As Fish swam It met a strange piece of plastic Afloat above the surface That seemed to curve slightly beneath the water Fish swam to it Despite the fear And the piece of plastic didn’t move So Fish became intrigued And it swam to its center Poking at it with its flat eyes Days went on And Fish rested with the plastic Feeling at peace with it And so it became Plastic And Fish stayed friendly with Plastic No matter how much bigger or different it was Fish spoke to Plastic nonetheless It felt dependent on it It felt comfortable and happy Something that Fish had not felt from its cold lake surrounding it Until One fatal day Plastic dashed Almost parting the water of the lake Too fast for Fish to swim after it And as it went to catch its friend Fish started to feel things it had felt before And it felt betrayed Alone As if it had wasted time On a simple piece of plastic So it swam until it couldn’t anymore for Plastic And soon stopped and tried to forget about Plastic Fish finally went back home Lonesome days went by Fish went on with its life Struggling to feel content with what it was doing On its own Until one fatal day Fish left its home And saw a piece of plastic The same piece of plastic it remembered But it was a little different With more scratches and some seaweed attached to it So now Fish swam towards Plastic excitedly And swam to the surface when it reached Plastic And looked above the water And saw that Plastic had long sails Ropes attached And it looked so slick and modern It was massive too Fish swam back down It saw so much more of Plastic So much more than Fish had never imagined Which set them apart even more Which made them so much more different So Fish never went close to Plastic again It still felt betrayal Even more afraid now And remembered the days that followed Plastic's sudden leave Like a sharp knife to its tiny, beating heart Because Plastic grew up and different And Plastic reminded Fish of many things Like misunderstanding Like disappointment And it didn’t want to feel like that ever again So it never went close to Plastic again It never left again But it felt... distant And it was painful to wonder what Plastic and Fish could have done together And so Fish tried once more And Plastic seemed pleased For it did not move And so Fish tried once more And this time it felt something A strange tension between the two But then That night In confusion of whether the feeling was good or not Fish remembered how much it hurt To be left by Plastic To be alone again So suddenly And it felt afraid that Plastic might not be as happy to be around Fish as Fish was to be around Plastic And now Fish waits for Plastic to see through the litter in the lake And finally dash for Fish

I've been searching these deserts I've been rummaging through my closet I've been eating more than usual I've been spontaneously bursting into laughter I've been attentive I've been regularly missing taking my anti-depressants I've been crying hard all at once (expectedly) I've been very extremely me This is okay - this is okay Thank you life I'm okay. I'm at this airport and it's like a chorus The people go up the ramps Fly away for 3 days like Horus The returner's come home now Waiting families embrace them with love Jumbo jets zoom outside these giant windows Visitors, excitedly saunter Into this new and open place... And this is okay Thank you, thank you airport I'm okay.

My dad shouted up that the Space Lab was passing overhead in The next few minutes I put on my adidas and a hoodie And stood in the snow and mud Of the front yard trying to find the Passing station as it traveled past Hundreds of miles up It was more excited than I had seen My father in a long time And I was glad to be out there with him We almost missed it But I caught it in the chalky Luminescence of the moon It glided past easily And my father shouted excitedly I stared straight up and took all the air Into my lungs between the passing station And my body on the ground Until it was lost In the sanguine of the night sky Like my father's excitement It passed too quickly And we ventured back inside To watch TV in separate rooms

The toppling hyacinth, Excitedly bursting at every corner To show the world its colour. The soft chrysanthemum, A rosy brush of autumn's breath, So stoic in their blush. The pale gardenia, A soft unfolding in cautious masses, The tokens of a lover. The quiet lilac, Without a care for frill or grace, Growing where it may. The meadow shifts. There is such blissful sorrow In watching flowers bloom.

A man went for a walk one day. He seemed to be searching for something as he hurried about, "Just a rock covered in dirt nothing special he says while he walks away".   A little girl walking down the same path carefully inspects each rock   She examines each one and than picks up the same rock that the man   had rejected.   She holds it in her hands lifts it up toward the sun and says," you may not look like much outside , but I have a feeling that your true worth lies within you". She excitedly skips down the path and brings it home and proudly presents the rock to her father. He carefully takes the rock and breaks it open and discovers the treasure that lies within, a geode that is sparkling like diamonds in the light. In life people at times are too quick to judge according to appearances alone. They hurry through life seem to be searching for something but not taking time to discover what life has to offer us through one another. They might even perceive that another person is like dirt,and with that misconception they miss out in discovering another's true worth. Upon closer examination they might discover that the other person has many great qualities and can become a treasured friend. If only they would slow down and take the time to take a closer look so that they don't miss the hidden treasure that lies within.

**********
The falling stars in this ironic night make majesties out of those cubicle-ridden New Yorkers' routine Tuesday night daydreams, where they make macabre escape routes out of every perfectly-placed window piercing the concrete sentences that escalate from Ground Zero. Your law offices, corporate ******* headquarters, are all bursting at the seams with these drones, the falling stars of the human race, all composed of 14 different shades of grayscale; could've been should've been could've been shootin' stars that year they were promised lives of upper middle class incomes and Lexus dealerships bought to dent their status on the neighborhood, but that sparkle's been emaciated by the truth, the underwhelming spectacle of realization accentuated by the clicking and the clacking of company keyboards, each little click gnawing more at their patience than the next; the faceless brush strokes gawk through that window, their plans less hypothetical over the calendar years. "I can hear it calling me from miles away," says Copy #90045280, "see, they SPEAK to me, man, tell me to transcend the hurdle of the windowsill and make my rendezvous with an asphalt avenue, to join the other casualties of this rut-infested nation in a life with the real stars, falling and shooting and jettisoning alike, throbbing lights through dark sky silk and into the hearts of even the most robotic of this catalog culture, and I frightfully, excitedly, must listen."

A Milestone Should not be a millstone, Weighting your Spirit. Rather, a stepping stone Buoyed in the water of life. Used to keep you Above water As you bridge the gap. Milestones should not Be millstones. Rather, paver stones Used to mark your path. Where you've been.   Where you're going. Forming a pleasing pattern In the Earth to gaze upon. To excitedly anticipate. Milestones should not Be millstones. To grind you down While you continue to grow. Rather, gem stones That glitter with the light Marking the Blessings Along your path. Milestones are not millstones. Unless you see them that way.

as obedient as my cat who waits for me at the door and jumps to kiss my tired feet from a hectic long day standing at lecture rooms as obedient as my cat who climbs excitedly on my bed and licks my feet again at the break of dawn.. just to inform me.. "wake up silly lady... Its time for a morning prayer" as obedient as my Harry who sits next to the praying mat and patiently observes and waits till a prayer is done.. What a sweet way to start a fresh new day... with an obedient four legged son called Harry who is loyal and cute in his own sweet way....

When I was a little boy, say when I was six, my dad calls to me and he says: Come, boy – let’s sit in our courtyard; let’s sit below the stars and I’ll tell you a story. It’s been told long in our village, and passed on from wise fathers to growing sons. Long ago, goes the story Farmer Somu wanted his daughter Meena to marry the Strongest in the world and so he set out on a journey with his daughter to seek the World’s Strongest One And what were they going to do, little boy? says my father to me. They are going to look for the Strongest One, I say; and my father says: Ah, you clever son of a clever man. And when they walked past the rice fields they saw farmers wiping their brows and they said: ‘My, how strong the sun shines!’ ‘Aha,’ said Somu, ‘I think I’ve found the Strongest One. Come, Meena,’ he said, ‘let’s talk to the Sun.’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think Somu asked the Sun? And I say to my father: Oh Sun, Will you marry my daughter? And my father says, excitedly: Exactly! Exactly! Oh , you brilliant son of a brilliant man.* ‘Oh Sun, will you marry my daughter for she is the Prettiest and you are the Strongest?’ ‘But,’ said the Sun, ‘the cloud is stronger than I for have you not noticed how often the cloud blocks me out and I can’t do a thing until he decides to move?’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think Somu replied to the Sun? Oh, you weakling Sun – I’m not even talking to you! comes my quick reply. And my father says: Oh how right you are – you clever son of a clever man!* ‘Weakling Sun stand out of my way and Oh you most powerful cloud – will you marry my daughter for she is Prettiest and you the Strongest?’ And the Cloud replied: ‘But ah, I am not the Strongest for the wind just blows me away!’ And what do you think, my clever boy, what do you think Somu did next? And I answer my dad: Well, dad - Farmer Somu drags his daughter Meena to the Wind. And my father says: Oh how right you are – you brilliant son of a brilliant man! ‘O Wind you should marry Meena who is Prettiest in the world as you are the Strongest.’ But the Wind replied: ‘Ah, you don’t know how Strong the mountain is for he blocks my way and he breaks me down.’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think was Somu’s reply to the Wind? Oh, you useless Wind – I’m ashamed I even considered you! I reply. And my father says: Oh how right you are – you clever son of a clever man!* ‘Oh, you useless Wind – I’m ashamed I even considered you!’ said Farmer Somu and he dragged his daughter along to meet the mountain and he said to the mountain: ‘Most Honored Mountain I have heard of your strength and so I have brought you Meena who is the Prettiest.’ But the Mounatin replied: ‘Oh Sir, I am not deserving of such a rare beauty for the rat gnaws holes in my sides and so is Stronger than I.’ And what do you think, dear son, says my father to me – what do you think Somu does next? And I reply quite impatiently: Somu takes his daughter to the rat? Exactly! Exactly! shouts my dad. Exactly, you brainy son of a brainy man! And the Rat told Somu: ‘Alas, Sir though your daughter is most desirable I cannot marry her for the hyena is far stronger than me for he has eaten many of my family!’ And so they walk to the hyena, says my father to me. And what do you think Somu tells the hyena? And I reply: Oh hyena – marry my daughter for she is Prettiest and you are Strongest! And my father says: Oh you are right, boy! You are right – Oh you brilliant son of a brilliant man! ‘Sir Hyena Most Revered Sir Hyena do marry Meena for she is Prettiest and you the Strongest!’ And Sir hyena replied: ‘Ok. I ask for no dowry just leave her with me with no ceremony.’ And what do you think , asks my father, Somu did? And I reply: He left Meena with the hyena. And my father shouts excitedly: Oh, how right you are! How right you are! You clever child of a clever man. And no sooner had Somu left the hyena took Meena to his cave and he ate her all skin and bone… Ah what a tragic end; what a horrid end… *And dear son, says my father to me, what is the moral of this story? Many, I say. But two are: Use your wits and stay alive. Never allow yourself to be dragged around. And my father jumps up and he is excited: Oh how right! How right! You brilliant son of a brilliant father! And he turns to my mother who has joined us at the courtyard and he says: See how clever our son is – he knows all the answers! Such a brilliant son of a brilliant father! And my mother’s retort is swift: It’s not that he’s brilliant or you either. You’ve told him this story a hundred times, you silly man! And it’s always the same words! And I would have kicked my father if I were Meena!*

The Prettiest for the Strongest
When I was a little boy, say when I was six, my dad calls to me and he says: Come, boy – let’s sit in our courtyard; let’s sit below the stars and I’ll tell you a story. It’s been told long in our village, and passed on from wise fathers to growing sons. Long ago, goes the story Farmer Somu wanted his daughter Meena to marry the Strongest in the world and so he set out on a journey with his daughter to seek the World’s Strongest One And what were they going to do, little boy? says my father to me. They are going to look for the Strongest One, I say; and my father says: Ah, you clever son of a clever man. And when they walked past the rice fields they saw farmers wiping their brows and they said: ‘My, how strong the sun shines!’ ‘Aha,’ said Somu, ‘I think I’ve found the Strongest One. Come, Meena,’ he said, ‘let’s talk to the Sun.’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think Somu asked the Sun? And I say to my father: Oh Sun, Will you marry my daughter? And my father says, excitedly: Exactly! Exactly! Oh , you brilliant son of a brilliant man.* ‘Oh Sun, will you marry my daughter for she is the Prettiest and you are the Strongest?’ ‘But,’ said the Sun, ‘the cloud is stronger than I for have you not noticed how often the cloud blocks me out and I can’t do a thing until he decides to move?’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think Somu replied to the Sun? Oh, you weakling Sun – I’m not even talking to you! comes my quick reply. And my father says: Oh how right you are – you clever son of a clever man!* ‘Weakling Sun stand out of my way and Oh you most powerful cloud – will you marry my daughter for she is Prettiest and you the Strongest?’ And the Cloud replied: ‘But ah, I am not the Strongest for the wind just blows me away!’ And what do you think, my clever boy, what do you think Somu did next? And I answer my dad: Well, dad - Farmer Somu drags his daughter Meena to the Wind. And my father says: Oh how right you are – you brilliant son of a brilliant man! ‘O Wind you should marry Meena who is Prettiest in the world as you are the Strongest.’ But the Wind replied: ‘Ah, you don’t know how Strong the mountain is for he blocks my way and he breaks me down.’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think was Somu’s reply to the Wind?

Somewhere in the lake of deep sleep is an island, dark and mysterious, entangled mangroves here,  resist movements where I snake in like a thief excitedly breaking in to own house, pretending to be an alien and find a body double living there acting out one's secret- fantasies and voluptuous desires. I won't dare to speak aloud here, where, the overpowering smell of too ripe fruits of indecent passions waft. The dark chamber, the smoke filled ***** den of my mind, is to  take secret refuge and be one with a dream that flies me to the border lands of psyche.

***** Den
We used to play in that playground, It was full of uniform levelled green grass. Here heartily played Abhishek's greyhound, Running excitedly all over game's green mass. We used to play cricket in the ground, It was a temporary zone of football grass. Here all games were near Atul's house unbound, Free from all school-work it was enjoyable as deep bass. But today our generation is busy in our lives making careers, The next generation is too young yet to make full use of the lawns. Reduced in size which used to be our hugest amphitheatre of sweetness, Has now got grass growing untamed covering The Playground Of Wilderness.

hey
"Yoo Hoo! Excuse me!" she said, Warbling with trepidation, "I wonder could you help me, Only I'm blind, you see?" Her timid voice trailed off, Lost beneath the majestic roar Of the waterfall; "Of course ma'am!" he said, "Take my arm and pray Tell me your troubles!" "Well it's all rather silly," she said, "But I'm not long now for this Life, and I so wanted to see, Or rather, to feel this place again. I was here as a young girl You see, and I have such fond memories!  My guide had to take An urgent call, and now I'm Afraid I won't have time for the tour!" "Tell me," he said, "If I may be Permitted to ask, were you able To see when you were here before?" "Oh yes!" she exclaimed, "It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen!  The destructive Force of nature, an endless torrent Of foaming waters cascading down Sheer cliffs, the living color of Smooth rocks gleaming in the sunlight, And oh so many rainbows Blazing in the spray, Sir I could Imagine no place more wondrous, More beautiful!" "Well then," he said excitedly, "You'll be pleased to know it Hasn't changed a bit!" "Oh thank you, thank you!" She said, hugging him tightly, "You've made an old woman very happy!" The guide returned and he bade them A fond farewell, and then another Woman approached him. "Well there you are darling," she said, I've been looking for you everywhere! I've found a guide who specialises In narrated tours for the blind, Are you ready?" He looked at her with unseeing eyes And smiled, "There's no need my love," He said, "I've already seen it and It's the most beautiful place in the world, And I want to remember it Exactly the way I do right now!"
