Geethanjali Dilip

Her bewitching visage shines through her many scars, Of storms and meteors that hit her, She a moon among stars, Yet She changes, waxes and wanes and zilches away, So much like me and my mirror tells me so even today, From an infant to a girl, to a woman and a lover, Beautiful me a girl child ever, young in spirit, a mother and now a grandmother, Who cares about the lines, the greys, the sagging neck, I’ve see this world through my kaleidoscopic eyes, what the heck! I may not fit into your frame of an hour glass and baby skin, I’m an eternal soul, my soul sister the moon says so too, my next of kin, While your eyes peer to wonder at my everlasting Joie de vivre my love,

The moon shall watch you silently your ephemeral life fading from above! Yet I shine within a lamp that glows radiant, I am ME, a song immortal gliding with a flawless moon distant!
