An Angel In Your Eyes-Win

An Angel In Your Eyes

On February 1st 1966, I saw the brightest moon,
The coolest moon ever that has shone in my life.
As the space craft Luna-II landed on to the moon
Same time Luna was born to Chandrika, my wife.

Luna-II, the spacecraft landing in precincts of moon
My Luna rising in the precincts of a maternity home
I was all ears hearing news but my heart was tuned
To the phone conjuring up hospital scene blythesome 

I did not utter, think or react as my family did feel
But felt something inside me I never felt before it
As if a cool light generated and rooted and reeled
From moon to earth living up to her name sweet.
                       +++++++
