Between the darkness

of the silent night

and early grey dawn

someone hums a song...

a tune i identify with  feelings

only a being in love can sire

and when i look into the great sky

 where the stars are brilliantly flaunting their fire

i stay mesmerised

and am gratified

 to be a part of this wonderful life...

even though i know pain

and impossible yearnings

that stay clinging in my heart

even though i know

 the jagged shards of incomplete dreams

keep piercing into my heart

 i still smile

when i see a falling star

and wonder about the beauty of it all!!!!

 my ma says

"lifes been this way forever

nobody has had it all!"

and i say

"even this much

sometimes gladens my soul!"

she knows not what i really mean

or does she know???

i am not really sure

about moms like them

one can never really tell!
