Zoya, when I read the title to this piece, I understood what potential this poem could hold if done properly. But you did not disappoint. It flows elegantly gorging itself in beautifully romanticised images that just bloom and cradle the life of the piece in every line. The language is wonderfully expressed and delightful. A favourite...;)

Dear Zoya I have to agree with Katy, this is one of your best! And that title, oh my, you are an inspiration and I can see the beauty between the poem lines.

I love the two first paragraphs, it ripped my heart out. You as me find strenght and cover in the moonlight, the moon as our mother. Dear friend, your words is as deep as the deepest ocean, and please, let your waves of wisdom come to my shore, so my body and mind can bath and be filled with that wisdom of yours.

Yours forever

Tina

Sorry for the typo friends,

Dull roots from spring rain"

Yes, daer Dan,

Opening lines of Waste Land say it all:

"April is the cruellest moth, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull rots with spring rain."

Gorgeous. If the monsoon were a beautiful statue from antiquity, you are its skilled sculptor, its mother.

Wow! I have never seen a Monsoon coming, but I can recognize so well the feelings you describe! So many times I have been feeling them in my very heart and soul!
It is so beautiful, how you weave feelings and emotions into the atmosphere created by the weather. Absolutely, a great read!
