Sound of Moonlight

The lights begin to dim, as she walks in;

Draped in silver threads, is her glowing skin.

Like the quivering butterfly wings,

Her eyelids flutter close, as she sings.

Her voice resounds across the sky,

Holding the triumph of a child’s first cry.

The song is filled with joy and mirth,

Like the music of a flower’s birth.

So softly, the melody flows,

Rustling their feathers as the nightingales doze.

Enchanted by her beautiful beam,

The stars around her blush and gleam.

As she walks along the aisle,

The waves rise to watch her smile.

She sounds like the thrill of bedtime stories,

And like laughter, free of worries.

Like the curiosity in a child’s eyes,

Like mischiefs and innocent lies.

Like the mysteries that hide in the dark,

Like the joyous cries of the skylark.

She echoes the soft breaths of kids,

As sleep begins to caress their eyelids.

She voices the longing of lovers and their wistful sighs,

As a ray of hope brightens the skies.

The world is lost in the beauty of her song,

Until another moonlit night comes along!

Time for Nature

The Lady Nature, clothed in blue silk, Held the thread in her hands, Weaving it into a giant web, Life brimming from its strands. She marveled at her handiwork And promptly named it, ‘The Earth’, It held myriads of wonderful beings And the cycles of their death and birth. And as Earth began to grow, Her fibre radiant and strong, The lives she bore evolved, Fashioning a chain ever so long. Plants, animals, insects, and birds, Links to the ever long chain, Holding and also held by it, Helping the thread sustain. Yet, as time went by, Rust came creeping in, Pollution, depletion, deforestation, Abrading the Earth’s skin. The chain grew weaker and weaker, As the wings of rust unfurled, Plants, animals, insects, and birds, Vanished from the world. The Earth lost its glory And Nature began to wane; Humans, once her treasured creations, Had now become her bane. The songs of the birds drowned; The air torn by loud noises, They faded from existence And the world forgot their voi...

The Song of the Hearts

This is a fairy tale with Angels and Demons, Where the beauty falls for the beast, Where poles kiss each other, As the moon blooms in the East. Hear, the sound of love, As the oceans caress the skies, As the winds ruffle the leaves, With a contented sigh. Here, the souls sing in harmony, Unceasing, night and day alike. The melody flows on beautifully, As the clock continues to strike. Time ceases to exist, As their eyes meet. Lost in each other's depths, The hearts continue to beat. -Pavithra Seshadri Image Courtesy : Google Images
