Dictums








Dictums are powerful. They are short but penetrating.
Sometimes they come like soothing breeze of mid noon air, sometimes they come like fangs:
They bite through and through until they crack our bones.
Dictums break only to mend, burn only to soothe, bleed only to heal.
Some genuine great dictums are born out from the burning lava of human pain and need to comprehend life;
Some gently sprout from the loam of fertile spirits.
Like diamonds, genuine dictums are timeless, boundless and fearless...
