On a dark night
the moon is put to sleep
as it threatens to spill secrets
well-concealed in sunlight
where yellowed vision
eyes covered with glares
see colours they choose
and paint stories with it
On a dark night
winds at a standstill
let clouds look ominous
Destiny turns in its hideaway
stretches multifarious arms
-ready to unveil the future
all those deep in slumber
miss the challenge and charm
Itโs another day- not so strange
news channels roll out change
Wasnโt it all expected? Yesโฆ
the moon will grow in phases
casting a new light
on what happened that night
the tune to which stars danced
dismissed as happenstance

I agree with Melissa’s choice of favourite lines but thhe whole idea is intriguing…

It made me think of the fact that the stars are only allowed to be fully visible in the absense of the moon… and there is a cycle of the moon waning and waxing which can lend itself to great metaphors.

This poem makes me think of the calm after a nighttime thunderstorm in the south. like everything is still and quiet and there is a layer of dew on the ground.
