Moon, my dear Moon

I keep waiting for you to arrive 

Keep waiting through the day for the night to set in 

The clouds when in their playful mood blanket the Sun, I get excited you are about to appear 

I keep waiting for the Sun to depart


I keep waiting for you to arrive 

Keep waiting for the night to catch your gaze 

The stories in your absence; I keep framing how to tell you what events occurred 

I keep thinking of you, my dear Moon and what you will ask of me


When you do arrive; you come along with those twinkling stars 

And keep chatting with the stars; jesting, jostling with their tinsels 

I know, you are the heavenly moon; stars are your company in the sky 

Did you know, you are closer to me than to any of those fake twinklers


I get jealous of the stars and I did try for a while to twinkle like them 

But I am not a star, I am Earthy mortal with intense life 

And you are not a star either; shine you may but you are not a star 

And you know, I am closer to you than any of those fake twinklers can be
