Lunar Influence Poem by Valsa George

Lunar Influence

Rating: 5.0


In moody silence, nursing my shallow bruises
I sat outside in the graying hours of the night
Staring into the cloudy night sky
With nothing to cheer my sullen spirit

My hair left in shabby mess,
By the mischievous passing breeze
My thoughts slipping out of focus,
Like tiny specks of leaping fleas

A circular face full of sheen,
From behind the nebulous veil,
Showed up all too sudden
Looking at me with a beaming smile

I thought of a thousand smiles
Which kindle the universe
The love that is hidden in all things
Eclipsing all bitterness and curse

Like ripples in a still pool
Caused by pebbles hurled
By the naughty kids’ wanton hands
A strange sensation unfurled

Tearing down the pall of gloom
Wavelets of cheer grew
Coming off in wider circles
Changing my mindscape into brighter hue

A new moment was born
And in the ceaseless beat of my heart
I sensed a new rhythm,
And knew all my dullness depart!

Moody silence is nourished and heart feels the breezy movement. A new moment's birth is widely grown. We notice mind's landscape. This poem is very beautifully and excellently penned. Moon and its lunar effect we notice. This sharing is excellent one.10
