Baru Gobira says:
You who are in me and I who am part you, are both strangers with a common past, have but one goal. It is here that the poet allows the reader to make the connection. Mystic, spiritual or about a million thoughts which have traversed this path. Choose. Very thought provoking write by one who has experienced the limitation of answers.--Baru Gobira
