The moonlight streaming in through the window pane
Was Witness to my steaming tears of pain
Her response was calm and logical too
Look at me, she said, and take a cue
There’s no need to mope and to cry
And in knots your tensions tie :
Taking pity on my plight
She soothed me with her peaceful light
She helped me, my fears, face
With her usual calm and grace
Continued then, with a little smile -
Though traveling many a countless mile
I wane regularly, with time’s tide
Because that’s the way my life will flow
But then I will come back soon
To you as a beautiful crescent moon.
So do not despair
And do not weep
Because if you, your faith keep
Your pain will also vanish one day
So it’s wiser to keep your despair at bay
Whatever befalls, take courage and bear
Because Life is full of wear and tear
Healing may not need to be just physical
It has to do with your emotions too
So keep them in control, and you will find
That you can bear it, if you have a strong mind
