we had kiwi cake, a
bit of your love
packed and carried
through the street to home;
we had that cake cut
to pieces to share love,
I didn’t count how
old I was that day
then came black
forest, pineapple,
chocolate,
coffee-almond, that melted
and tasted
togetherness and love;
we had birthdays
every month, yours
Mine, kids’, and all
loved ones’ .
But I believe, every
morning we birth once again
and when I watch big
trees swaying in air
kissing the sky, I
hope for such heights for our love;
dear, can we
celebrate birthdays each morning
not the cake, we can
share a piece of bread
with a skinny disheveled
boy yonder
or a little girl
hanging on to that railing
where a hundred
trains cross daily.
Dear it’s an ocean of
love that we share
let’s rain as drops
every morning
to grow up as trees
kissing the sky,
let us hope…
Oh, yes! kiss the sky and share it with us, continue to share it, raining beneficence on the world!

ReplyDeleteI posted a comment - but seems it was lost. I am facing this problem with blogger off late, it won't take my first comment in many cases. You have a very heart warming piece in here - we need to show love to all who needs it. Well done with the prompt. You gave me some beautiful memories back too.
ReplyDeleteYour closing lines are always a beauty ... Merry Christmas :-)
