Moon Lets My Thoughts Run Wild...
Moon hangs on a thread
Weaved with my thoughts
Sky too prefers to loosen the grip
What else can it do
My thoughts can make
Moon dangle which ever way
Just Like a pendulum
And reduce it to size of my eyeball
And hide it there placing
Like a transparent lens
And then wrap-up the sky
Folding it like a news paper
Along with all the glittering stars
Placing it in a box of imagination
And tying it up with a rainbow
Hiding it in my own inner-space
But then how would the Sun rise
Without a sky… in the morning
Yes, something to worry about
Well, it’s very simple
Let Moon continue to
Offer light brightening the black holes
Of discontent and unhappiness
Which tend to get formed
Swallowing my happier
And joyous moments…
Yes, it’s better to let Moon
Hang in there in the grip of skies
That would be truly appropriate
Well, here it is snip, snip,
I cut the thread of my thoughts
And thank Moon to let
My thoughts run wild always…
*****
Well, Here's the Haiku ...can't do without it..
Don't tighten the grip
Life hangs on thread of moments
Prefers a soft touch..

ReplyDeleteA certain melancholy rolls through the piece that prompted me to read it again for more subtleties. Well done.
