The bells are chiming
on the distant river
I changed my name;
I changed the face;
and I threw my whole being in the river.
Now I am here and there and everywhere;
Call me now by whatever name;
I will still call back
even if I do not know your name.
and the happiness comes floating on the wings
of thousands of butterflies making rings,
whirling and rising and holding little lamps of flickering lights.

REPLY Sep 25, 2017 - It is 3.45 p.m. here, a bright sunshine is pouring on my desk and I paused to look out of the window, to think of a reply; but that's all! If I force myself to find words I may find something inadequate. So watching the sunshine is the best reply. :-)

Dear Sushama,
Your poetry is a wonderful, fascinating journey, a journey into the universe and deep into the heart and soul.
Every thing, every detail in your poems has its own name. Everything can be touched and moved. Your world is not an external illustration, it has roots in the soul, in love ...
When I read your poems, I discover this world from scratch. I recognize his wonderful lights and darkness.
This is GREAT POETRY.
I return to your poems as if to music. I listen to the same songs many times. I rejoice with them, happy that there are souls like yours. And again I will go back to see with your eyes, heart, soul, touch and also the dream and the ups and downs of the imagination. Your words are also a prayer. They are proof of how beautiful a man, a woman can be ... Thank you from the bottom of my heart ...REPLY 7w - +Jan S Whenever you write, be it poetry or prose, I stop at a certain word or a phrase which arrests me for its simplicity and grace. Although this entire comment has its own beauty, what touched me most were these words: "When I read your poems, I discover this world from scratch. I recognize its wonderful lights and darkness."
I am truly grateful to you for entering this world with empathy and insight.
I agree with you when you say, " Your words are also a prayer.".
Yes, truly, prayer is what my poetry is at heart. I feel humble and glad that you went so deeply into it.
I wish you great moments of inspiration and fulfillment.
