Moon

Moon! When did we meet first? Was it at my birth? Or was it When I was planted in mother's womb In a night lit by you And saw you through my mother's eyes, Who dreamt a child like you Lovely, beautiful and tender? But our relationship is for ages Since you circled the Mother earth Born out of a chunk From earth's womb! My mother introduced you as 'Jahna Mamu' The Moon uncle And I always desired to go near you And when this earth's scientists went to you In flesh and blood You remained no more a distant mystery In their camera they captured images That are rough, sandy, rocky Even there are no greeneries Like our earth Nor are there any birds or flowers But I wonder In spite of no life How you look beautiful From this distance!
