1. Beautiful poem Balroop. Your image for Gathering Bliss is so perfect
   and the poem express the emotions so strongly. I especially love your last stanza :
   ” Garbed in childhood bliss
   Reminiscing only the delight
   I gathered gossamer grains
   Of time, twinkling just for a while.”

   Beautiful.

14. Ahhh, I sink into your words, Balroop. “The limber labyrinth of life” – YES, it is just so.
    I just had such an experience with this labyrinth, traveling to the Bay Area to visit my son and his family, and friends, as we remembered wonderful times past. How the memories rolled into love! (On the other hand, never saw the sun once in 7 days – needed rain for the area, for sure). 🙂 xo

       Oh yes sun has handed over the baton to clouds 😊
