For too long now

have I been trying a proper wish to find,

something that'll equal sheer delight

and sweet nostalgia will be reminiscent

of times and laughs sealed in time,

of the million persons you embodied

to become today the oldest memory of who you've ever been,

the youngest of what you've yet to see...

But what is apt and what is right?

Happy Birthday, Many Happy Returns...

I guess I could just smile,

words fall short

and after all, there's melody in silence

dulcet, morose.... like the emptiness in the cosmos

had you not have ever been borne!
