the moon

I gaze in wonder at the luminous moon

so pure, untouched, calm

free from the bustling world

so happy, so contented,clamouring not for more

promenading in the suns reflected glory

it seems to chuckle at our trivial squabbles

our greed for success,our frantic race for it,

our obsession with 'I' 'ME 'MINE

shrivelling many as we succeed

Hi, This is Ritu,
I did not know that you are a poetess.
i do not understand the technical aspects of it much but what i feel after reading your what you wrote is there is at times pain at the same time depth,in your words.
it will be a good idea if you can compile and make a booklet.
i can probably send few relevant photos to go with your words but that will be in oct or nov.
mail me
