I hear birdsongs

Grey clouds cover morning sky
Palest of white, misting eyes
Searching for seeds & spring buds
We walk slow on greasy mud


~0~0~


She is thin, pared to the bones
Her voice, faint as ghost's whisper
I wish she sees sun-licked blooms
Outside room,  waving at her

Nightime

the quarter moon sighed softly,
watching children sleep deeply.
will he ever get to play
hide and seek with them all day ?


~0~0


the sun yawned, ready to fall      
after watching concert hall  
she didn't want to wake up late,
putting all in grumpy state !


0~0~


the stars are quiet tonight 
listening to sounds, so light
a wish, prayer, poet's words,
to sparkle long dreary roads !
