The Hidden World

Returning home at night, alone
Sometimes the lights go out
A second of blackness, sudden pause, to
Make sense of the world about.
The same alley, the same homes
Familiar shapes loom around
Uncertain, unknown. Silhouettes of ink
Melt into the next without a sound.
Slowly, slowly, the eyes adjust
Learn to look up from the street
See beyond the always seen, where
Darkness with the starlight meet.
Hear the gentle rustle of the leaves
As the coconut softly sways
Smell the subtle kamini
Missed so often on other days.
Look up, the faint white clouds
Lazy cross the sky from east to west
With a rare breath of fullness
Draw deep the air and fill my chest.
And I realize I/'/m smiling wide
Feeling blessed for the moment/'/s sake
The lights were out, the houses mute
But the alley had come awake.

Your poem reminds us to find joy in simple things. We may never be an ocean, but we can be a brook.
I/'/ll never write a novel, but I can write a poem.
Do what you can with the talents you have and share your dream as it unfolds.
If we are lucky, we will inspire others.
