Sky

            As I was sauntering on the sundeck

I had raised my head high

To view the large luminescent light

and the star-studded sky.

 

This gave me a lot of solace

And freed me from the day’s menace.

I realized how beautiful nature could be

If with the right eyes we could see.

                                                                                                                              

The pat of the breeze made my hair dance

Looking at the swaying trees, I went into a trance

All around, there was complete nonchalance

The rays of the moon brought reflections of reminiscence.

 

The dark sky and shining stars were contrasting

Just like black and white

The experience was everlasting

And the moon grew magnificent over the night.

 

The stars were like small crowns adorning the skies

The moon gave us hope to aim for the highs

As time passed, it had become pitch dark

Suddenly, there was a small spark.

 

There was a speck of orange light that arose

This proved the fact that faith never goes

Whenever the thick clouds covered the moon/sun

It always finds a way out

Because it knows its duties

and has no doubt.

 

How grim the situation may be

There is always a hope at the end of the tunnel

You just have to filter out negativity like a funnel.

 

Never think of a back out

Instead become more devout

Never consider the nights to be bad and long

Because it gives you a chance to become headstrong!

 

So, enjoy both the day and night

You will start feeling a sense of delight!
