# # The Moon Within Me Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

# # The Moon Within Me

Rating: 5.0


there it was..the moon
lying in the shallow rain water
a shaky moon..never
very sure of itself

what would happen to this moon....
i thought.....tomorrow
when the sun would drink off this shallow
what would happen to this moon tomorrow

ooh.....silly fellow
the moon would be safe up above..actually...
actually that was'nt the question in my mind
it was the astonishment that the scene left behind

the milky white moon was milky white
even when lying in that dirty shallow state
like i soppose the ' GOD ' in me....even
even inspite of the dirty shallow within me

Meeru Samanyan kadhandi Baga bethavazhlandi! A transfiguration occurs In the soul of the reader When he with you stands And looks up in awe and wonder Into the face of God! Thanks for inviting me to your world I know I am going to read a lot more too! No wonder, this too joins my favourites! regards Angel

Ah lovely philosophy.....Visishtadvaita? but i don agree with 'dirty, shallow with you', coz nobody has it...only some choose to have it sometimes.....
