Have you seen the Full Moon tonight
When the sky was more than generous
It had started distributing goodies gratis
In the evening when the moon was rising
From behind the greenery of the park
It was bright and wet as shining liquid gold
I was drenched in the showers' fold
My heart and the soul rejoiced at the mold
I felt richer as my eyes glistened and doled.
At the stroke of 12 that ushered midnight
I came out of my study, saw skywards
And was mesmerized by the spectacle
Brought about by the time in the interim
Full moon was there right above my head
But the gold had now turned into silver
Coming down to earth through its beams
With its silvery hold on the dominion
The magic of a full moon night on display
Here, there and every where
In full measure.
The magic and the aura if the full moon captured so beautifully into words. Mesmerizing poem

Moonlit earth is something I adore. Looks like an alien space. I tend to sing with Jagjit Singh, "Hum to Gaye Pardesh/ mere desh mein nikala hoga chaand"….

Thanks, Kishore ji, We human beings are fortunate to have a fascinating nature all around us. The charm of moon, and more so if it happens to be a full moon, seen at midnight is always breathtaking, We both have seen it and narrated the experience in our own words and style. So nice of you for having visited this page and for being so generous in appreciating the poem.
