I lifted my eyes up
And sighed at the sight that offered itself to me
Up there, somewhere further than the clouds
Was the moon’s crescent,
Accompanied by a single sparkling star!
I let my gaze drown in that glowing image
And enjoyed the sensation of feeling my heart open up
To let the creepers that sleep in there
Crawl to the doorstep of my soul
Knock on its door
And bid it to wake
To wake and to inhale the essence of life
The essence of the very halo that surrounds me
The essence of accepting everything
From bumps to applause
From hurting lumps to body ornaments
From uncontrollable laughter to bloody tears
From things that we shall never be able to change
To that which we can erase and paint with the colors we deem fit
Yes, to accept life and everything that makes it up!
I lifted my eyes up
Basked in the joy of this most mesmerizing sight
And let my tears flow
As heavy as they possibly could
Pray, souls it would seem, float on Earth
An Earth which itself, is compelled to be
Without having any choices
I do wonder then, if she would have still revolved
If she would have still woven her web of illusion
Had she been given a choice
Or if, like me
She would have chosen to forsake existence in this plane
To be, always and forever
By the side of the power that makes us what we are
To be, free, safe, comforted and elated!
The night, illuminated by the moon’s crescent
And its sparkling glimmer
Did engulf my soul in its radiance
Yes, it did
Meanwhile, my mortal body poured out whatever was in my heart
While bloody tears spilled out from my eyes!
Profound.Various thematic concerns are foregrounded. Lovely.
sometimes even the falling darkness of the night brings us deep into the lingering thoughts that fill our heart with so many emotions that dealt with our existence… seldom we fall blind, yet the soul feels… lovely write dear 🙂
