Just came across this beautiful piece of poetry. Could not resist putting it up here.

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above--
Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights, or for one,
And some for all their years.

Beautiful.

Its surprising how poets can pen such a volume of emotions so economically. I think this particular one has been penned by Vikram Seth.

Didn't know Vikram Seth wrote this kind of poetry. Btw, noticed you have linked to my blog. Have returned the favour. Cheers.

Sometimes authors write the most unexpcted things. Margaret Atwood once wrote a seven word story-- I liked him. I got him. Shit.
