Moon Guide
what lies across
foggy skies?
The day speaks
more than the night
Yet, the absence of light
makes darkness intriguing
worth probing
worth wanting
conversations
Straightforward talk
by an honest Sun
goes amiss
as we get busy
with routines inane
lessons not learnt
unless wrapped in tragedy
and then we hunt
for stark Truth
in mysterious envelopes
-tear them open
though unglued
-invent a tool
to remove knots
from untied ropes
Sun God
sprinkle clouds
on clear skies

This contrast between the sun and the moon, and our willingness and finding opportunities to actually talk is creative and interesting.
Great poem, Reena!

Thank you so much, Nicole!
Do we really think about the sky or sun in the day, other than weather consideration? It is taken so much for granted.

A poem of stark truth. Nobody learns until the worst happens. Even then they commit the same mistake! Well done, Reena.
