The Midnight Moon

I rise from my slumber

And walk towards the window

The sky brought relief to a heart almost about to crumble

As it long awaited a catharsis

And I stood amidst my room’s darkness

 

Moments like these are really few

My eyes sparkled as I stared at the stunning night sky

Mostly black and a tinge of blue

 

A perfect full moon floating in the night sky

The nature calls it the apple of its eye

It’s lonely yet doesn’t make me feel alone

As it finally decided to pay a visit to my home

 

It stares down at me

And I stare back at it

Time stands still

And bliss sets in  

 

It shines bright like the lantern of the dark night

And its radiance lightens up anything gloomy in sight

It’s full of spots yet so beautiful

That the ocean holds up a mirror

For the moonlight’s silver glitter

 

Getting a glimpse of it is such a simple luxury

When it appears in sight, all my sorrows fade away

It stole my sleep

But now as dawn gets closer

It starts to fade away

 

My eyes can see nothing clear

As they are welled up in tears

The sky left me wondering

Why did the faraway seem so near?
