The Moonlight


I’ve been here an immeasurable time

Gazing at the sky in owe

There is a hanging moon in it’s half

With a smile in the western blue sky 


the gentle moonlight has 

showered all over the bushes

So all I could do is ensure the silence

Letting the memories to pour

Flowing through my mind 


A drop by drop leaking through the sieve

The past i live and leave

Coming along the memory lane

Walk and talk  within the silence pave 


I’m just a watcher not the performer

Only i can get the bits and pieces

Or dusty childhood memories

that covered by the time


Our bodies are repeat 

the rhythm of the moon

It changes the ocean 

and it’s tides and the waves 

Leaving the marks of our paws

on the sands we walk along 


There are so many signs

Collected and taste the bitter and sweet 

No sorrow no laugh

Because they are the lessons


Life teaches us meanings

It taught me the things I can lean

And It taught me that we can change

Even when it seems impossible
