TIME IN THE TERRITORY OF NIGHT

for Sonja

So many books to read:
Colorless Tsukuro Tazaki and His Years
of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami;
The People in the Trees;
Into The Wild; Les Miserables by Victor Hugo;
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee;
Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels;
Life of Pi (winner of the Man Booker Prize)
by Yann Martel;
Bhagavad Gita As It Is;
Pranic Healing; Writ of Execution;
It is All About Islam by Glenn Beck;
Recuerdo/Memento by Dr. Aurelio Solver Agcaoili;
Puraw a Balitok;  The He(a)rd Mentality
by Herdy La. Yumul; among others.

But time is always in the territory
of night and the dawns are saddled
with memories.
The morning waits even as the sun's splendor
passes by like silence prancing
before a storm.

 "Men of small intelligence worship the demigod, and their fruits are limited and temporary. Those who worship the demigods go to the planets of the demigods, but My devotees ultimately reach my Supreme planet."--Bhagavad Gita as It Is, page 314
