When Moon visited India

It comes once in a bluemoon
When the daughter
In the sky
Visits celestial mother

Comes calling
Soon after the search
For her beautiful face

Casting her might
Her silken saree
Caressing mother
For longer time
Before vanishing

Back in her spot
She starts smiling
Till mother sees
The bloom
Then hides again
