This bright blue
candle of a day
with the flame of
the soft rosy sun
I am sending you
to celebrate from
a far away shore.
Also gifting you
a cake of a poem
baked with very
simple words of
love, my friend.
When twilight
will slowly draw
its curtain today
night will be lit up
with all the starry
wishes of the
loved ones; my
note also joins
all twinkling voice
to deeply pray
for many more
happy returns
of the lovely day.
