A world without books
will look like a mountain
engraved with ignorance
that can not be wiped away
how much everyone tries
A world without books
will look like an ocean
washing away all the knowledge
to dip those in an unfathomable abyss
to evaporate those into oblivion
A world without books
will look like the sky draped
with the dark attire of illiteracy
without the stars of ideas
without the moon of intelligence
A world without books
will look like a deserted forest
from where arts & literature
have become extinct &
science and technology
hide like vulnerable species
A world without books
will look like a library fossilized
a printing press buried
a generation unrecognised
a civilisation forgotten
a vehicle of wisdom broken
a mining of talents hidden
a shrine of education abandoned
a flight of development crashed.

Hehe, SMiLes Even Though i’ve Written
10.3 MiLLioN Words in the Last 103 Months
in Free Verse Poetry in Poetic Responses Just
Like This to Lovely People Around the World Just
Like You Dear ruchiabhisikta It’s Also True in that
Span of Months i’ve Also Danced 16,353 Miles in
Public Freely in Flow As i Find Silence of Dance
Meditating Contemplating in Autotelic Flow Brings
Beauty of Song
More Whether
Written or
In Oral Tradition Still
To Come Newly Dear FRiEnD
So What Would A World Without Books
Be, Perhaps Some of Us Would Dance And
Sing More Freely With Each Other New Dances
And Songs Each Day For There is A Danger
With Books Making Tradition Like Caves
Never Changing too Where Women May
Be Regarded As Second Place to Even
Relate Deepest Spiritual Meanings of
Life Full Of HeART Filled SoUL
Yet Never the Less Hehe Who
Am i Too Judge After All
That’s The Equivalent
of 240 Novel Sized Poetry
Books i Give Away Free Yet i am Still
So Far Behind As in the Last 103 Months
Almost Each And Every Sunday i’ve Read
An Entire Book Free at Barnes and Noble
Listening to Meditative Music Dancing in Flow
While Reading too True i Love to Read i Love to Write
Yet It Will Long Be Before i Catch Up in Giving Back Over the 400 Books
i’ve Read at Barnes and Noble Totally Free Only Entertaining the Star
Bucks Crowd of Students Sitting Still Consuming Data All Afternoon Long
Yet i Love To Dance Even More to See Human Eyes GLoWinG And Free
Yes Books Are Great As Long as We Don’t Forget To Move Connect Co-Create
Beautiful Dancing And Singing in Poetry and Other Arts As You Have Done With
This Poem HeaR Today…
Yes It’s True It’s Better than
A Box of Chocolates Now
Yet It’s Kinda Like a Box
of Mixed Chocolates too
As ‘Forrest Gump’ Told His
New FRiEnD too at A Bus Stop
Too While She Was Reading a
Magazine, “Life is Like A Box
of Chocolates, You Never
Know What Flavor
You Will Bite
Into Next”
i May Have
Paraphrased it
A Bit Differently Quoting it
As Such Yet That is Always Why
i Love to Visit Your Creativity and Get
Excited When i See A Notification From
“Half earth, half sky,” ruchiabhisikta Is Still
Coloring Her Creativity Freshly A New Child
of Creativity in Your Words Birthed On Earth
As You Create All Your Words Loving NeW iN Free Poetry…
My Only Advice Next When You Become A Computer Scientist,
Or an Accountant, Or an Engineer, Or Dutiful Wife And Mother Yes
Please Continue to Breathe in Your Creativity Never Stop Living New…
i Lost My Ability the Gift to Do it From ages 13 Thru 53 Just Imagine
How Many Words And What i Would Be Writing Now if Not For those
40 Years in a Desert Without Creativity Yet’s It’s True All that Darkness
From 40
Years Inspires
ALL This mY FRiEnD
Yes Every Experience
in Life Makes Us Who We
Are This Miracle This Gift New Now…
i Regret No Darkness or Mistakes in my Life
That Makes “A Day in the Life” Of me Real New Now True too..:)
