By Maya Green
You are the morning sun
That blooms out the flowers
You colour my being
Lighting up the shadows
Your smile, a thousand stars’ brightness
Pure radiance, pulsating with hope
You are the pure taste of sweetness
I am just, a mere honeycomb
O to be close to you
Is to soak up your essence
I am happy, just to be the dew
That evaporates, in the morning sun
O to rise up to be with you
For you are the destination
And I am just, the cosmic traveller
Weary and long lost, from my station
I longed to return, as has been set
Hoping for that day to come
When of this world, I will then forget
And in arriving, I am no more
Dateline:
Boxing Day 2015, and revisited
26 December 2023
Shah Alam
