Poem: Ode to the moon

???????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ????????????????

when l look up in the sky
l see the moon
it is following me
everywhere and perhaps
anywhere
like a pet dog roving about
with its owner
or like my shadow
in the ray of the day
that perseveringly stays
much that l do not feel
short of a companion

On the blackest night
in the darkest of neighborhood
where the humans have
seek refuge in their homes
and the streets, fields
are empty and harsh and cold
and the atmosphere abounds
with crows of threat
only the moon and l are out here
bearing witness and the distress
as we perform through the night

how it embitters me
when we are parting each other
for the approach of the morn
you, dimnishing out of sight
me, closing for the night
till another moonful darkfall
that comes to unite us again

Thank God
for the moonlight
for even the watchmen
of the night
cannot wish more
than an aide of light
and watchful eye of
the heavens
upon them
