When you turn away, do you have time to collect every little memory
In haste, a swivel changes the direction of focus that once meant the world
An obsidian space transformed into an undulating terrain of suffering
Unprepared heart afflicted by the unnatural turn of events
Fate changes in seconds, tremulous feelings weaken the foundation
Opposing gazes express the vitiated relationship with a clarion call
Ousted from the arena of love and harmony, battlefield ready for histrionics
It takes a moment to quell any uprising of love and reconciliation
When animosity draws borders across two unfriendly hearts ready to duel
Faithful pledges vanish like camphor and leaves a lingering bitter taste
Without the sensitivity, values, and renunciation of memories
The world looks aggressive, vicious, and armed with self-destructive anger
Combination of negative feelings and ignorance trample on memories©

This poem makes one want to keep digging deep to fight the many threats swirling around and through us – your words, “Fate changes in seconds”, gave me a shiver as my thoughts go out to the many parts of the world suffering from recent devastating earthquakes…

Coming from one talented and published writer, it is indeed a wonderful compliment.
A writer is never satisfied I guess, always looking for words to create another piece of literature.

That’s reassuring for a writer. I feel writing is never easy and the entire creative process is like a life-long meditation.
Will try to do my best and just pen down my honest offerings for literature.
Thank you so much.
