Oh Moon, the shining lantern of the sky!
the brightest light set ablaze in the dark!
glorious boon, heaven freely granted!
committed guardian of the night!
you appear each night to lead the wayfarers,
stumbling across the murky faraway streets,
the ones lost in the labyrinth of darkness
shedding down beams of light on their way
you stay aloft in the firmament in deep solitude
yet in benevolent contact with all creation
the young and the old fall under your mesmerizing spell
we feel your aura embracing the whole of humanity
on seeing you, pure ecstasy warms our skin
and in elation, we whisper - "How beautiful you are! "
I find moon an d night both in interesting state of reflection. Beauty is caught in hand. Queen of sky is smiling in bright hope. Thank you!
Yes, the Queen of night smiles at everyone! Thank You Budhashya.....

I'm transported right to the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. An absolutely beautiful poem, Valsa.
Such a beautiful poem on the Moon, dear Poetess Valsa. We, the classical dancers, portray the moon with mudras almost in all dances that we perform but as yet, i have never been able to write a verse on the moon. You have penned it with perfection. Enjoyed reading this beautiful poem....10
