Migrating Moon

Samer Amin

 

 

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon.

 

 

 

You come at night like a bridegroom escorted by the angelic winged clouds.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; dismissing the ancient fears that lurk at the corners of the streets,

 

 

 

and dispelling the mist that dominates the desolated roads.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; wiping the trace of sadness that covers the faces of the old houses,

 

 

 

and consoling the weeping winds that wail in the empty squares.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; casting your silver rays over the white crest caps of the ocean's crushing waves,

 

 

 

and changing its rocks into gleaming jewels.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; riding your horse over the black clouds,

 

 

 

and running your track over the expanse of the grassland plains.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; covering the grasslands of the vast steppes with your dreamy light and your glittering dew.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; shining over the tops of the stately mountains, illuminating their foreheads, and increasing their majesty and awe.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; mitigating the loneliness of the lonely people,

 

 

 

radiating new hopes at their windows and casting joy at their front doors.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; caressing the heads of orphaned children who spend the night in the open; without a home, without shelter,

 

 

 

and compassionately listen to their crying.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; offering a shoulder for the dejected widows who are fighting their ways alone through the intricate excruciating roads,

 

 

 

for the sake of their children.

 

 

 

You come at night like a migrating moon; showing a glimpse of light in the smoky sky of a wounded soldier who is unable to see anything except ruin, destruction, and death.

        Thanks a lot!

        I hope you feel great nowadays.

        • orchidee

          Yes thanks. It's me mucking about (usually) with my supposed bad-hair days, etc.

          • Samer Amin

            Yes, I understand.

            I just wanted to make sure that everything is fine, and you are enjoying your time.

            • orchidee

              Yes thanks. It's me being eccentric sometimes - on purpose! keep safe there too.
