Wisdom from the Moon

I sat by the lake

With melancholy as company,

The rippling water-canvas painted

With the sky lit up dimly.

The moon stared at me

Inspiring me no end,

Little secrets of success

To me, its rays seemed to lend.

From a cluster of white dots

Scattered above in space,

Like the moon stands out

Make felt, in a crowd, your presence.

The moon outlines with silver

The clouds dark and grey,

You too are unique

In your own special way.

Engulfed by black clouds

The moon least cares,

Striving to light up the earth

Every night it dares.

Revealing only the bright face

To the earth all time,

‘t says, “Cover your weaknesses

With strengths, like rime.” 
  

Making hay in the day

Till the sun shines,

Throwing light at night

‘t teaches us lessons so fine.
