Haiku

day break
the stray peeps through
my bedroom window
rose moon
the way our shadows
merge
this instant
with you by my side
a perfect moment
to be captured
and felt
and experienced
for
soon
it will cease to be
and
will become a memory
me…reasonably good looking
intact body parts
food…always on the table
two beautiful children
a reasonable life partner
decent moolah
a good job
a few loving people around me
not homeless…
and still…
the demon called ANXIETY
raises its head
catching me unawares
it has clipped our wings
the pandemic in all its glory
nature jeers mankind
flitting clouds
I keep looking for
my shadow
nighttime routine
taking my watch off
time stands still
sipping hot tea
on a cold rainy day
a rainbow peeps
did you ever realise
that it very tough to be
a mother
whenÂ
you love both your children dearly
but
love one
a little bit more
