A Full Moon

A full moon
never amazes me 
ever like before

Whenever I see it
thoughts of my dad
occupies my mind

And I couldn't embrace
cold rays 
Instead heat waves
hit my face 

A full moon
won't help me pen
verses like before 

Cos, It was
On a guru poornima day
On a full moon night 
2 years ago
My dad's soul merged with god


It was on July 5 2020 ( A full moon day and also guru poornima) and today is the full moon day of this month and also guru poornima)

Guru Purnima (Poornima) is a tradition dedicated to all the spiritual and academic Gurus, who are evolved or enlightened humans, ready to share their wisdom, based on Karma Yoga.[6] It is celebrated as a festival in India, Nepal and Bhutan by Hindus, Jains and Buddhists. This festival is traditionally observed to honour one's chosen spiritual teachers or leaders. It is observed on the Full Moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July)
