starry pathways draw me to the moon till the Sun makes them invisible leaving me in the lurch I take a few steps ahead to test the skies Voila… I don’t fall I know my strength now -of feet which carve paths in ether https://amanpan.com/2019/05/20/brewnspew-may-20-2019/

Where do you think is the breaking point? When we crack up with internal explosions, but shards of glass do not fly out…. are we still whole?

Amit Agrawal’s second take on Exploration Challenge #87. English translation in Comments section….
आप यूँ ही हमें टहलाते रहें
हम हवाई किले बनाते रहें ।१।
हम दास्तान-ए-इश्क़ सुनाते रहें
आप नादानी पे मुस्कुराते रहें ।२।
आप बेरुख़ी से पेश आते रहें
हम शमा-ए-उम्मीद जलाते रहें ।३।
हाँ जब भी ज़रुरत पड़े हमारी
आप हमको दोस्त बताते रहें ।४।
न कम हो दीवानगी अमित
आप यूँ ही हमें लुभाते रहें।५।

Wicker women they,
Casting spells of old,
Summon dreadful haunts
And kings’ lives remold.
Critique not his pride –
Fault the coven fold
For her unclean hands
And his grim parole.

Moreover, this poem is about Macbeth, my 100%, no doubt favorite Shakespeare play.
