Thunder flashes
across the night sky
A full Moon grows.
Creating new origami
dusty rain drops
softly…
little rain drops…
ripe plums fall
all over the ground
Bloomed in late summer
a ripe cherry falls
in silent silence..
Rain drops fall
no one hears
the silent thuds..

A dream, a dream, a dream I had
The world, a theater
The stage, our lives

Applause for peace
Applause for us.

A kludge (or, alternatively, kluge) is a clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem or difficulty. In engineering, a kludge is a workaround, typically using unrelated parts cobbled together. Especially in computer programs, a kludge is often used to fix an unanticipated problem in an earlier kludge; this is essentially a kind of cruft.

तू आकाश दिलेस मला
मनमुक्त उडण्यासाठी
आणिक एक घर दिलेस
थकून कुशीत शिरण्यासाठी
आता थोडे थोडे सगळ्यांना
आकाश वाटत फिरतोय
ज्यांना घर नाही त्यांना
घर देण्याचे स्वप्न बघतोय
घरी वाट पाहतय कोणी
तू असा दिला विश्वास
मी फिरतोय खिन्न दिव्यात
भरत अता ज्योतींचे श्वास
