"Ode
To The Moon"
With
no accolades coming forth her way
She
enters her domain without much fanfare.
She
would hang by amongst the clouds,
Rising
only when darkness sets in and night time falls.
And
there amidst the backdrop of velvety blue,
She
would take her place high up amongst the stars...
A
Queen,
Alone
in her night time throne.
Then
without any ruse, Without any applause,
She
would quietly and silently
Cast
her spell amidst the stillness of the night.
Flaunting
her naked beauty without any reserve
She
bares all the charms that she can give.
Then
a poet would write his poems,
A
minstrel would sing his songs,
The
lovers in their passionate tryst,
While
a mother cradling her beloved child,
Humming
softly a loveful of lullabyes . . .
Then
as the hours passes by
And
night time reaches its zenith,
The
fullness of her majesty’s beauty
Stands
out even more vivid.
She
would ascend the dark blue skies,
Her
night time throne,
Shining
even more brightly
Than
whence she came in.
She
would grace the darkness
With
all her silvery light,
Leaving
behind her a trail of colors
Glowing
all through the night.
A
poet would then write his poems.
The
minstrel would sing his songs.
The
lovers in their passionate tryst,
While
the slumberer in their dreamy state.
Ah,
truly she’s a Queen,
Adorning
the night time skies,
Her
Royal Highness’ domain.
Bestowing
upon all those who slumber
A
hushed stillness of a quiet sleep.
.
. . Of lyrical melody for the minstrel to sing.
.
. . Of rhythmic poetry for the poet to write.
This
Lady of the night, Oh, so fair
Only
the melancholic would glory
In
the shadow of her mystique flair.
Eagerly
awaiting, impatiently anticipating,
Night
after night, expecting with all delight,
Bask
in her beauty in the soft glow
Of
her evening light" |
