He lives without a mask

plays with the sand of times,

every breathe amuse him

dreams unlimited in his eyes

 

A diamond, searching light in stones

glued to the adventures of moment,

walking on the edge of emotions

facing towards the valiant sun.

 

 On those jagged edged days

when the wind screamed for a reason,

He grabbed his mighty pen

conquered himself in each season.

 

 May your very special day, William

overflow with love and peace,

each life you've been blessed to touch

You are a face, full of grace.



(Happy Birthday, William. I am dedicating this poem to you...Not amazed;this  year  was in hurry and left so many events.Specially, when you did friendship with those hospital nurses....lol... Sending you Best wishes, Good health and Happiness...Thanks for your golden friendship)

Bhawana, what a lovely tribute. I especially loved these lines,

On those jagged edged days

when the wind screamed for a reason,

He grabbed his mighty pen

conquered himself in each season.

Such a vivid image of a writer! Well done.
