अक्स / Reflection – Kaushal Kishore

लोग अक्सर देखते हैं अक्स अपने
तरह तरह के आईनों में,
लेकिन कुछ देखते हैं,
अंदर की ओर अपने सिर झुकाकर,
जबकि कुछ अन्य पाते हैं सुकून,
अपने चाहने वालों की निगाहों में…

🪞🪞🪞🪞🪞🪞

People see their reflection
often in a variety of mirrors,
but some see
with their heads turned inward,
while others find solace
in the gaze of their loved ones…

The Streetlamp and the Moon – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

The Harvest Moon

The Streetlamp and the Moon

Trăng và đèn đường

The streetlamp annoyed with the moon
– Why can’t you stay put
Be vigilant and stand still
Like I do all night

The moon consoling
– I might look like I’m playing
But I never stop, I’m constantly circling
To light up the world.
