Anj, Your last poem is beautiful. Please allow me to add few of my verses with that of yours. I'm taking this liberty with the hope that you would not take it anything other than an informal eulogize. And yes, keep em' coming. .................... "The river now seemed like the tears she had cried, The wind laughing at the failure of her tries." Shedding blood, not tears from the eyes, Watching as brothers performed last rites; When he himself had his promises denied. Oh! how our mother had silently cried. "The sun had now set, darkness engulfed the world, "This my daughter is my story untold!!" But when tomorrow comes with morning sunshine, I shall embrace you all with open arms of mine; With the dawn, I'll pray for your nous, As we move from a grisly chaos. (To the new beginning).........
