Moon
Five times have you greeted me
On this day

Though all around me changes
You remain constant

First
Set amongst the black of pre dawn
You illuminate my street
Crisp, round, dominant
The streetlamps weakly copy your splendour
With their modern white lights

Second
I Ieave my house
The skies have awakened
No longer the black
Now a pale blue
Mixed with oranges and mauve

You, moon begin a slow surrender
To this new backdrop
As if pastilles had sketched you
And you seem resigned
To melt into the day

Third
Higher you stand
And the palette pure blue
And there you are still
Present yet receding
More distant
Standing softly in the morning sky
As if to say

'Farewell my night
I will remain here forever
Watching the world
Hidden and waiting
For your return'

Fourth
You dissolve your perfect roundness
Miracle ball of rock
And disappear from view

Always there
Pulling my imagination
As you become
Nothing but a wisp among the clouds
Swallowed like death
By the day

I work
I do what I can
I return home
Exhausted

Fifth

Evening

You stand watching me
In the fresh darkness
Brighter than ever
Half way through your daily revolution

And the stars are with you now
Just as they always are
And I am another half revolution

Closer to
The end

Where did i found her?…..
It was dark over there,
Really dark that I couldnt see forward.
I stuck over there for days, months, years…….

I became the darker, than the dark.
I lost the hope at some point.
What can i do..??
i cant be the light for myself..

Where did i found her ???)
It was that place more deeper .
Which I accidently reached.
I found that little light

When i reached out there,
I saw her. She shine like a star.
Moon i would say. Yeah moon.
She is there far more than me.

I wonder why dont she use that light of her,
To get out from this pit.
No she dont want to.
Luckily i found her.

I hold her hand,
I told her . I need help, i need you.
She asked: what if I leave her when im out?
                    What if I Ieave her outside.?

What can i say. How can i leave her. She doesnt know that im gonna hold her forever. Outside the pit. The places with dark . Hand to hand we will survive. She will know how bright she shine. Ill tell the world how big she is. If this world dont deserve her. Ill take her to the next universe. Where she will live like a queen.. she is a queen.❤️‍🩹


The moon is beautiful. Isn’t it.
