The Moon

Yellow and beaming
Looking at the life passing by
Just before the dawn
Waiting to be submerged
Wanting to be one with the day
Bold and effervesce
The Moon


Standing with an open arm
Encircling with an edge
Soft with a fire
White with a red
Spreading the borrowed light
Till every drop left to give
Waiting to lick the sunrays again
The Moon


Like a long lost lover
Walking barefoot,
With a soft face and softer stature
Spreading light and searching for more
Sharing love and wanting more
Losing herself little by little,
Tear by tear
And still being complete
The Moon

Like a mother looking out for her offspring
Sharing the last bite,
Sacrificing the last light
Shedding all inhibitions
Changing several forms
And then being formless
Dissolving in the light of the future
The Moon

  4. So many beautiful lines. I also love "like a mother" but my favourite part is
    "Walking barefoot,
    With a soft face and softer stature
    Spreading light and searching for more" —so lovely.
