Moon and its romance have always fascinated me. We can talk till either of us is visible. :-) I can keep my eyes on it the entire night and no even the brightest star can take my attention away… such beauty this little circle has.
It happened to be a full moon night when I was searching for my dear friend and it caught my attention in a split of a second. Actually, I didn’t need to search for it even! It was right there, waiting for me, to have a look, to talk to it, to appreciate its’ flawless beauty... It was a full moon, with no part missing, making it a complete circle, as if drawn perfectly with a compass by a Professor of Geometry! ;-)
To add to its’ beauty was the aura surrounding it, protecting it from running away on its way to romance or from being hid as the dawn approaches… the aura made it all inclusive. It was one of the most wonderful sights for any eye. With the arrogance of a princess and an innocence of a child, it stood tall lighting the entire world…
The following night, it was not to be seen anywhere. It seemed as if the veil of darkness roofed it as well. After a full bloom, it chose to hide itself. It became a dark moonless night, a night where the stars lost their shimmer and refuse to shine in the absence of their lover. So strange, a moon doesn’t even have a light of its’ own and yet has the capability to lit the whole sky and the star, in spite of having their own luminosity, could not match up to that of the moon.
Starting day two, just an iota is seen. It seems as if it is playing hide and seek. It can feel it is being missed and like a naughty child, refuses to come but is looking from a corner and enjoying the scene where it is looked for…
A crescent is finally here. Slowly and gradually, it is a quarter of its’ size now. Well, a reduced size definitely doesn’t mean reduced beauty! It still looks splendid and give glows like a teenager’ face when she falls in love the first time. ;-)
Similar to a natural growth process, from a crescent; it becomes a semi-circle. It has completed half its’ journey and is in no hurry to reach its’ destination, for it knows the destination is just the beginning of another journey…
It takes its’ own time to grow and is nurtured well by the Space। Slowly but surely it gets to the full circle again, but not even for a moment, it compromises on its’ beauty and it takes no shortcuts to reach the personification of serenity. Unlike us- in a hurry always; forever running; it looks even if Heavens stop us; we would ignore and run, run and run. I am not really sure, run towards or away…
The magnificence of this full moon is definitely the best moment of its’ life, so glorious and attractive, such awe-inspiring yet so humble and calm…
It completes the voyage of being nil to being full in a short span of time and then starts off again, sooner than we even wake up in our lives…
P.S. - for people in Delhi, NCR, take your loved one on a drive to NH8 on a full moon night and enjoy- it shares the story of its’ love as you romance… Carpe diem ;-)
