Nightfall
Everything obeys ageless gravity Exhausted leaves and the curtain of night Darkness encourages depravity But it can be a friend, protecting sight

On the socioeconomics of being humane
The socioeconomics of humanness lies in the beauty of balancing the aspects of togetherness and isolation. In a world where life coincides with the duality of forces, oscillating between the forces of light and dark, beauty and hate, love and hatred, birth and death, humans are the most endearing and detrimental beings ever to exist. The prowess of intellect and communication, with the stellar mind that created the strides of evolution and lapses of civilization, is undeniably the most striking aspect of what makes humans the most resilient beings of them all.

What is the secret in you, O night? Like a star, you depart and return? What is the magic in you, O night? You rise at dusk and take refuge

The caravan
It is an old carriage with good horses Everything one could wish for is available in it A kitchen, a table and a bed tied to take you far

A Conversation with a Weary Body: A Tale of Patience and Faith
A Conversation with a Weary Body: A Tale of Patience and Faith You terrified me, You pained me, I gazed, lost for a moment, And found a worn-out body, lifeless and stretched, With nothing left but a head of wisdom, And a speaking mouth, praising unceasingly, And a forefinger still proclaiming oneness.
