! Fences ! Poem by GAYATRI NAMBIAR

It is when the red wild fire
from the face of one sun
engulfed on green
forests and silenced a lively
earth and ocean,
a simple moon rose from
its hiatus and eclipsed
the fire of that sun for a while
to write on the golden pages of life
that might is not always right
And from that day
sun and earth stand across
the fences of one silent mountain
and converse, converse
to compile a heartfelt song
of a mystery called life...
