That’s how it all began

Posted on by Reena Saxena 
 the sky looked like ink, no stars, just black; that’s how it began. 
 the moon did rise – solitary, like in choppy waters a swan
  
 it fluttered wings and sang a song, scattering moondust around’
 one by one, stars appeared, like guilty kids – without a sound
  
 tales of betrayal deeply etched on the night sky
 but clouds covered the truth – I don’t know why
  
 the sky looked like ink – but chose to be a mute canvas
 words flowed from a poet’s pen; that’s how it all began

  1. Oh my, I was captivated by this, Reena. I feel like it was a different style from you. I especially liked this line…”one by one, stars appeared, like guilty kids – without a sound”.
