Encountering metta

Yonder the moon
Ascends like a
Glowing lamp.
The stars are
Half lit candles.

I march
Under the green arcade
In search of
Loving-kindness. . . metta.

The blue azure
Draw lines with clouds
Over the horizon.
Dew drops are oozing
One by one.

This is the
Mid-watch of night.

Birds are singing lullabies
Flowers are blooming in secret
Flora is in a deep sleep
Casting its leaves, branches downward.

Here underneath the sky
Lies the silent of life
Where which I encountered the
Loving -kindness
"metta."
