Oh my Child

The brilliant moonlight
Is like the regenerated gold
On the highly venerated pupils
Kick-boxing your celebratory eyeballs

My solid first footprint
In buoyant fathers’ courts
Your birth has launched me
Deepest into the paternal galaxies

Your tender foot steps
In the dewy and glorious east
Embrace the superlative rhythms
Roaring deep in the poets’ purified pens

The cracks of thunders
In the dark and craggy skies
Crown your rugged birthrights
To roar triumphantly across the ragged sea
