You made me love the teachings of Tagore.
My thoughts were mesmerized by your sitar.
I kept the little flowers from India,
Artfully pressed to span a century.
Creative journeys never really end.
Our era is a lamp that still burns on.
I send some thoughts like flowers overseas
Their fragrance will outlast both you and me.
Your world class mind inspires me every day
To build a friendship bridge from West to East.
By touching souls with others, I touch yours.
The wonder of that sets two worlds alight.
'For the former editor of Ocarina, Dr. Amal Ghose who inspired
me to build friendship bridges between poets of the East and West'

I also love the fruitful teachings through your awesome poems, dearest Sandra. This is beautiful, and, actually, 'your world class mind inspires me every day'. May your blessed mind keep creating further and further journeys like the above one. Warmest reagrds, Maria
One day I was sitting in my garden I looked up and you were there. I wondered how. So it was on the friendship bridge you arrived. No matter how you got here dear Bodhi Sattva that you are here is what makes my soul sing. Love Always Paddy
THE POET HAS NO BARRIER, ALL BECOME HIS ADMIRER. YOU HAVE LEARNT TAGORE'S TEACHING, FOR YOU I HAVE A FEELING. TAGORE HAS UNIVERSAL NATIONHOOD, HE LEFT HIS CREATION FOR GOOD. HIS TEACHING GIVES YOU ENJOYMENT, IT'S YOUR GREAT ACHIVEMENT.
Eternity in the rosary beeds bound A thread through them in poetry found; Poets not bound by time and place Universal brotherhood in them blaze. Shakespeare to Ganhi sang songs of the soul, You build bridges to weave them into whole. CP
Sandra, it's an outstanding piece... accurate and to the point
One of if not the most talented Poetesses that shared her work on this site. Her passing was a loss to this site and for me a personal loss as Sandra was as good of a friend as she was an extraordinary wordsmith.~FjR~
beautiful poetic feelings... exquisetly expressed.... a message, in a format and language that transcends boundaries and barriers... great lines... loaded with the weight of time and the beauty of what couldd be. cheers
The east is so rich in ways that we in the west have to fight for. thanks for this universal sentiment and kind regards, john
