A Lesson From The Moon

By Tiya Bansal

You did mistakes at every stage 

Of your life  , all those faults were

theirs and avoided counting the mine.

It was fine until the I saw glory

Of self hurt done to a stranger

when you collide with them in a hurry.

At night, you tallied the stars in the sky

but the sleepy eyes totalled 

seventy two stars in half hour time.

The next morning, you forgot the numbers

In the same night, the moon 

was full yet bright , you heard the moon

calling out your name and said 

seventy two was your account but there 

are still millions left of hearing

 the sorry of you damaging

 that assurance one time.
