Once upon a time
I took my soul
To seaside
The lonely shore
Lay quietly
In the fading night
We sat there
Face to face
Wordless
All on a sudden
My soul stretched its hand
Plucked the pink pulsating sun
From dawn
“It’s God’s heart.
Keep it inside you” said my soul
“I will scoop a handful of stars
From the night sky
And the evening breeze too” It continued
But…for what?
“They are keepsakes. Don’t let them out.
Except if they want to come out on their own”
They were indeed
A very different sunrise
And evening breeze
And unusually twinkling stars
They live in me
Occasionally they come out
As words
