Just another yesterday

 Was a little  thing of five or so

An evening stroll to a park 

With Dad Mum and little sis 

On our way  back the full moon shone 

As I hopped and jumped and walked 

with my little feet 

And I saw her gently shining in the sky

I looked again up and then jumped two steps ahead 

Oh my joy she was following me

I looked  at Dad and said 

Look the moon is moving with me 

Dad said why don't you run and check 

So did I

Yes yes for sure she follows my pace 

Dad...ow we'll  have to figure out why 

I checked  till I  reached home 

She found a place in my heart 

It's been almost four decades since 

And I still look at her with love in my eyes

 "Poems are never finished - just abandoned"       

                                       Paul Valery

A probability for poems

  


The ink started through the pen

even as it drenched  parched lands

After a tempest of stormy thoughts 

The respite in words.... emotions calmed 

Another season of agape  love begins 

being written....  without end
