Bedtime Story-Teller

I have this ‘Trans’parent jar
I wipe it clean
When I get to hold,
Opening its mouth
To my universe

It gets filled
With random things
Raindrops and sunshine
Darkness and light!
Something that’s me
Something that’s not

Songs get formed
And flow from the shell
Sometimes lively
Sometimes being pale
Silence plays
The background score
Covering it all!
Covering it all...

All of a sudden
The jar goes empty
It has its own seeking
It has its own heart

I just hold it sometimes
With looks intent
And a smile, content
It melts away
With my love
Turns out to be
My bedtime story-teller!
