Sushant Thapa
What is art?
Is life art, or is living an art?
How do we measure
the things that matter?
Lighter than the first steps of a bride
inside her new home;
the fresh bonding among friends
measure the trust.
The task of fortune shines with the
agility of work.
The mind is a waking wind
before whistling in control to the
known and unknown tunes.
Definitions do not build pottery
The clay has to measured
with new and also retiring hands.
Touch of a dew is still a memory;
It can be understood what Keats meant
when he said “Touch has a memory.”
When a beloved departs
Her memory arrives
with the sense of touch.
