“I am still on my zigzag way, pursuing the diagonal between reason and        
 heart.”―Ruskin Bond, Rain in the Mountains: Notes from the Himalayas        
              
can't stop the rain        
     from falling on my window,        
          but i can find out        
               why the sky is so distressed.        
                                                  can't stop the pain
                                             from drooling in my pillow,        
                                        but i can hide out        
                                   till the dawn renews my quest        
         
for fragrant inks        
     to autograph my living,        
          ere my time runs out.        
               troubled scribbles are, at best,        
                                                  unbroken links        
                                             in zigzag chains of giving,        
                                        when vexed clouds bleed out,        
                                   tossed by temporal unrest.        
         
can't stop the page        
     from capturing my spillage        
          as it trickles out        
               in life's great inglorious jest,        
                                                  but when the rage        
                                             of heaven's global village        
                                        has been sorted out,        
                                   inks will paint a new conquest.
