when the moon is full
it is time to take stock
and pray that the next day
would be as beautiful as
the luminous roundness
that gives the earth and
its inhabitants the well
deserved full marks
the bright lady of the night
hangs promisingly over the
sky that spangles with hopes
every star trying its utmost
to wean us from our pessimism
each star, the faint
to the brightest, glitters to
draw out the optimism in us
the sky is fair especially
the moon that keeps it lit
for the poor, for the rich
it is the best time to
read your most treasured
bedtime stories to your children
the moon listens too
through the window
an intellectual fountain
pouring knowledge into
the child's sky of intelligence
it is also the best time
to share secrets with love ones
in the garden, in bed
in the warmest of places
for the moon loves to be the witness
of all things good and round
for this as well as the next generation
it is a gold ring waiting
to be worn, a crown
waiting to be worn
just put in your eyes and mouths
and make it laugh - tonight
everynight
