What’s a solstice? or even three -
I’ll still be reaching for the
phone
till the last stronghold of memory
tumbles into ruin and is gone.
All seven seas and all time zones,
include the seven ages of man,
and seven more births that follow
on
and the entire galactic gameplan -
it will still flash into the brain
instantly at anything new
that I must get back, call and
share -
transmit this pulse of thrill to
you,
before the surge ebbs out again.
You are out of reach, everywhere.
Hari OM
ReplyDeleteTrue... but then we have blogs to share such thoughts and I, at least, have found that to be a solace! YAM xx
Absolutely! Blogs are therapy and friendship and serenity and innumerable other things besides. Connections above rubies!
DeleteEchoing Yam, in gratitude for the solace and comfort of the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteMe too - super grateful for it!
DeleteThere is so much that's happened since my parents died. And I can't tell them any of it. I hope they know anyway.
ReplyDeleteOf course they know anyway. And are looking out for us and sending us things that we need exactly when we need them. But the compulsion to talk stuff over with them - that's unmet. Not sure when or how that's going to get resolved - but I know that will be managed too.
DeleteHi Nila - your commenters are wise ... and I'm so grateful to have started blogging - an amazing world ... and so much to be enhanced through thoughts from 'somewhere' to learn from ...
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated by the Webb telescope being able to go back in deep time so far ... I'd love 'to see' that journey of our planet ... cheers Hilary
The Webb images are just so fascinating. Surreal really. So lucky we are here when we are - indeed an amazing world!
Delete...transmit this pulse of thrill to you,
ReplyDeletebefore the surge ebbs out again. - Beautiful words Nilanjana :D
Thank you.
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful and poignant, Nila. I liked what Damyanti picked out - "pulse of thrill". Brings up all sorts of images.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise! I actually had one set of images in my mind but Hilary took them in an astronomically different direction with her comment :) New knowledge is such a huge pulse of thrill always.
