the storm before the world
I know, or I once knew you, before the storm of the world; before our assigned roles had set in, before, even, you began to question me (which must have been a very long time ago). Before words, or knowledge, or desire took shape. For desire is only borne from memory, and you were not that, then.
The summation of it, though, is that we do not know, only see through a glass darkly, as it were. The hours like some pagan god, promising little. The world and time flies in all directions, everything in the universe is pulled by some mysterious force. Many fall, others fade. Light reconfigures. Who can say, we were probably lost, even then, before the first shadow fell across your hesitant lips. You, like a ghost in my mind, the deepest part of me that I couldn't locate in life, and I, like a gnostic-seeker, who couldn't tell where this storm had come from, or for who.

it's wonderful...
do we need to know, to tell, where such storms come from?
the music is however not stormy, it's the melancholy of after-storm, but also the promise of hope? i feel it like this.
Thank you, roxana. Your comments often help me clarify my own thoughts (or revise them). And, as usual, I'm not sure what I've written!
But yes, those two lights, the orange and the yellow, are perhaps a sign of hope (they reminded me of a painting by Hopper with one of his clowns: 'feeling blue', somewhere on this blog).
you know, there was a freak storm here on the weekend..so much so that it was if there was snow (check it out on youube: snow in lahore).
some people started praying, thinking it was the end of the world. you see, lahore is the centre of the universe!
orr?
keep well,
b.
Hey b.,
Just popped in to say that loved the music and it led me to your youtube channel which is fantastic :)
Hope that you are okay,
Sadia.
