The Moon…

I was gleaming in the sky
With an aim of melting the darkness …
I was shining together with the stars
& the clouds drift on by, with a gleeful sweetness…
I was on my journey from heaven to ocean
Painting the world silver…
& making the things look
Just a little more alive & pure…
I was holding the sphere
With love, in my hand…
Of course without any expectation as
Letting go is not the end of the world…
But wait! It’s a dark shadow
Trying to eclipse my light …
The sky is utterly black
And perhaps I am vanished in this night…
I am fading, helplessly accepting my destiny
& through the hazes, trying to crawl…
Or it’s just a negotiation out of fear
Between my heart & Soul…
But then I sat by the gray sky
& questioned myself…
I am pure as pearl & a brave endeavor
Then why that much of Grief! …
This eclipse is for such a short time
I will not let anyone block my shine…
In every fall I will rise again
With an ambition not to lose but to Win…
