The Jewel of Stars

   Subramania Bharati     

Moonlight, the stars and the wind.
By placing them in front
and drinking the honey thereof -
a poetic frenzy seizes us;
that atomic thing called Mind -
we shall let it roam free.
Should one wonder at the bee that sings
while embedded in a tasty fruit?
Oh, Mind!  Go hence to join
the jewel of stars.
