Catching The Light Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

Catch the daylight in a basket I did
It simply poured out in a stream
Everything it touched burned and burnt
Dimmed my vision and made me blind.

Catch the moonlight in a thimble
Just a little of it to remember by,
My inner darkness stands dispelled
The outer one can remain as it were.

Catch the starlight in my right palm
Stay it will a second and then vanish
Carrying with it all those dreams
I had fondly nurtured during my life.

Catch the stray light in my right eye
It will find for itself a fixed abode,
And I will be able to see the Beyond,
That continues to elude my life from life.
