The Nightless Moon



Eternal companion of the earth,
Watcher of sky and new stars birth
Seen at once a child’s desired mirth
Not known by anyone your unique worth

Guider of  the lost and the traveling
Tending to the sick and the ailing
Soften and pacify others hearts you do
Looked every time appear new

Modest and humble of your un explainable beauty
Have let the firey ball have a fraction of time for duty
Generous giver of soft white beams
Each one acquiring intense sparkling gleam

Seen to be outstanding against the dark background
Perfect, smooth, speckless and round
Seen from all views and eyes appear so
Irrespective of merchants and paupers looked low

Independent and bold; hung without support
Yet look leaning from the vast sky’s fort
Fixed and new un-swayed by the wind: unlike clouds
See them off with mystical movements and rumbling sounds

Clasp the drape of darkness around you
Let alone is exceptional the stars like dew
Mortals are caught in a trance of your handsome looks
And compare a damsel’s shyness with you in their books

Ruler of  time, tides and symbol of gentle mankind
With your melting dimensions would we never bind
Forgive the ignorance of busy material life and
Be aware of passionate nature lovers of this land

To me you’re special and life’s greatest granted boon
I would now without being so dubious call you the “moon”
