Oh Navin, I remember this poem from your book, but your reading of it,takes it up another level. The poem is powerful, raw, real feeling..You bring us in as witnesses to the struggles and battles you wage inside your own mind, The rhythm and rhyme of this poem adds to its impacting feel…We are moved, your voice turns scary;nwe feel scared for you…what do you want to do? What will you do? It’s a high point, a crescendo, blood red….and then the bird..the returning to bring you back to peace and calmness, to wipe that slate with its bloody letters and find relief in sleep. “The pure moment without the knife” Yes you know and you tell us, this is not just a rhyme but your internal fight…and we feel your breath slow down, you’ve got this now…and you can do it…another battle won. Brilliant and so moving to hear it in your voice. Naveen.🌹

How I enjoy visiting this familiar cave of the mind where all starts shattering all there is and the resilience towards respite finally unfolding into that brilliant joy of living life so alive – and your spoken version brings the right impact as always.
