It was a moonlight night
With no stars or blemishes
On the still sky
I gazed awestruck,
at the looming moon
When a shiny object slipped
from the moon, falling
into the corners of my lawn
I ran outside and beheld
a shining stone, brighter
than any diamond, that could
belong to the earth
I preserved it in a velvet cloth
in a corner of my cupboard
Touching and feeling it every day
Walking around the world with a glow
not sharing my secret
of the moon’s precious gift
One day – I took the precious stone
to my lawn,
Desirous of relishing its beauty
in the full glow of the sun
The sun immediately turned
Its full focus on the object
Glaring greedily
and the next moment
My velvet cloth was empty,
no trace of the shining stone
Where did it vanish?
Did the sun absorb it?
The betrayed moon
never graced my lawn again
I had lost its precious gift,
but the sun stays for extra hours
Mocking with its heat and immense energy
beautiful sense of imagination!

I’m still coping with a lot — waiting for more opinions on what to do … just hoping there is consensus if i am to undergo another huge surgery. Have not been lucky this way… but keeping hope.. Your site was tons of fun to visit… you write so well ~ and always enjoy spending time when I can!! 🙂
Thank you very much, Robyn! Hope you are at least able to get some sleep in the night..that would be a temporary relief..
