My World

a poem by Tanushree Nair

Bright shining lights
music in my eyes
smiling faces
laughter in my life

peace and love
timeless space
deep midnight conversation
meaningless chat
with no pace

my friends close by
to need and be needed
to help and be helped
to listen and to be heard

my perfect world
exists in me
you’re welcome to visit
to stay
pull up a chair

and together
we can see it through
this drama called life
with we as the players and
we the audience.
