soot
of smoke
meanders all along…
in crowded mass
I miss the softness
of the tender greetings
***** ***** *****
the Berlin Wall
once cemented with pain
the sugar mingles
with the flow of happiness
bonding with homely feeling
***** **** ****
for million years
the mountains in stillness
her remembrance
spells the perennial presence
within vast space of my rocky silence
**** **** ****
