Lunatic

Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)



While one does sleep,
the other awakes
and
dreams, deliberately.
Half the clock is a day,
half the night.
perpetuality is the true essence,
joy and sorrow follow each other,
The sun rises in the East and sets
the west.
The Moon has different faces
we wait  for  
a
FullMoon
-the brightest.
