EDGY THOUGHTS

 


EDGY THOUGHTS

 

-         Manas Bakshi (India)

 

Winter night. 

Biting cold. 

A full moon

Melting gold---

An old lady

Weaving fanciful tales..... 

 

Glow-worms

In a far away

Countryside

Invite the moon. 

 

A thatched hut, 

Moon enters---

Old lady becomes the earth, 

 

Tales begin to disintegrate  

As dreams at daybreak.... 

Glow-worms of a wistful night

Transformed into

Messenger birds

 

To glow with

Some lofty thoughts

For a fresh start

In the next morning.
