The Moon..........

The darkness of the night is gently disturbed,
by the moon emerging from beneath the dark clouds.
No matter how much effort it takes, yet unperturbed
it continues on its journey through the mazy crowd.




It doesn't have the regalness of the Sun, nor does it have the Sun's power.
Yet in its own silent way it controls the tides, accurate to the hour.
The Sun gives out more light and it breeds life, commanding respect
but for a romantic, there is nothing quite like the moon when the question is of "being perfect".




It comes out only at night when its admiring strangers go to sleep,
yet it never feels lonely, as the mighty stars give him company to keep.
It doesn't give us much warmth, neither does it make us feel cold.
But do be on your guard, because it can so easily take away your soul.




When the darkness arrive after the Sun sets, the world descends to black from white.
And when all hope is lost, he appears and fights the losing battle, but doesn't give up without a fight.
It teaches us all about life and how to live and fight it,
at night, it lights our paths just enough so that we can walk on our own two feet.
