Rummaging through my old pile of notebooks, I came upon an old notebook where I wrote down poems from different poets and artists back in high school and college. I used to read a lot of poetry at that time. Indeed, time flies so fast. One of the poem I really like is by David Cortez Medalla and its called Envoi.

ENVOI.

Close the book.

Open the window.
Close the book.
