The World Wouldn'T Be the Same

"The World wouldn't be the same without me, 
                                 And without You! " (by Poet)




Dawn! 
The most cherished part of my day! 
Usually I glimpse through the window from my bed, 
And wish for a few more hours of sleep! 
Some days, when I don't have to, I get up
And perch on the Muskoka lounger in my backyard, 
Enjoying every second, every minute of that surreal experience! 
I am a part of this wide, magical Earth, 
Part of that celebratory moment! 
The World wouldn't be the same without me, 
And without You! 

Azure unfathomable sky, with a mix of gorgeous red from the East, 
Sometimes it's just a dot, 
Like a red dot on the forehead of an enchanting woman from the Orient, 
Then it grows bigger and bigger, enveloping the horizon, 
A few white clouds floating, carefree, like my favourite Kash flowers, 
Our great creator has announced his arrival, but hasn't arrived yet.

Some days, it's still unilluminated and unusually mysterious, 
Awed, I gaze at the sky from my bed, 
Stars still blinking, 
Dark sky studded with millions of them, 
Each one has a poignant story to tell, 
Very strangely A Full Moon, round and silvery, 
Refuses to disappear, 
Although her contender is about to rise.

I am mesmerized!
