Why Does Light Kiss The Eyes? Poem by john tiong chunghoo

why does the light kiss the eyes?
it wishes to spread the best presents
over their lustrious oval tables

why does the air kiss the ears?
it wishes to tell them the sweetest
stories they would ever get to hear

why does water kiss the tongue?
to share with us all the experiences
it has acquired going round the earth

why does the air hug the nose?
to tell us what mom is preparing
in the kitchen and who has come to town

why does the skin wrap us all up?
to make sure we are in safe hands

why does our conscience shake us all the time?
to make sure we dont fall out of the boat to heaven
