After reading “Old Mays” by poet Mukti Masih, of India – where she profoundly conveys the transformative influence of love with memories old and new – I was inspired to write this short poem…
Like the warm glow of moonlight
Illuminating the night
Or, flowers so bountiful
In blossom, so beautiful
May with questions, you receive
The truth you seek, and believe
Your heart light with happiness
Sharing peace and love, God bless
