The icicles dropped, shattering, to melt. The doors flew open. The windows flew up. The children worked off their wool clothes. The housewives shed their bear disguises. The snow dissolved and showed last summer's ancient green lawns.

“One Mission, Many Vessels
(The Sonnet, 1313)
One thunder, visions plenty.
One mission, vessels plenty.
One source, seekers plenty.
One fate, fervors plenty.
From dust we're born,
In dust we're gone.
Cashes to ashes,
Bitcoins in trashes,
Division is nefarious,
Unity is dawn.
The day the billions of people of earth
are valued more than the billionaires,
that day you shall be human being,
that day you are king and queen.
Naskar doesn't have flag or nation,
My flag is world flag - my nation, world nation.
Call me poet, scientist or humanitarian,
Naskar is the spirit of world integration.”
