in my eyes
she mixed stardust in my milk
and sang me cosmic lullabies
to sleep. i looked at her
with dreamy eyes, drowsy eyes
and smiled.
"mumma, where do the stars twinkle?"
"they twinkle in your eyes,"
she replied.
i held her hand
with both my hands
and asked, "mumma,
where does the moon glow?"
"the moon glows in your eyes,"
she answered.
i kissed her hand and
she kissed my forehead
and again i asked–
"mumma, where does
the big bright sun shine?"
"it shines in your eyes,"
she said the same.
i asked her about the comets
and shooting stars and
surreal lights and
all the beauty of the universe
and she said the same
that they twinkle in my eyes.
i sighed and smiled, knowing
all this while i had been
doing just one thing,
i had been looking at her
and what twinkled
and glowed and shone
in my eyes
was her reflection. ♡
