Moon is a God
Not just to me; a Hindu
The Moon is a God
Or a Goddess
In most religions
Across Nations
So Moon worship
Is almost world-wide.
We follow our lunar calendar
And our almanac
Based on the lunar calendar
For all our occasions
Religious
Festivals
Traditions
All ceremonies
And for us
The Full Moon Day
Is the most auspicious day.
The Moon has many names,
In our mythology…
For instance
Chandra and Soma
And our first weekday
Is named after Soma
As Somvaar, Somavaaram
Just as in English
As Monday
Is named after the Moon.
Worship apart
Beliefs apart
Superstitions apart
To all common men
And remarkable men
But for; lunatics
Moon is simply awesome
Its splendour a wonder
Its gentle brightness
The Moonlight
The Moonshine
Is
mesmerizing
It is so pleasant
And so romantic
For humans
And all fauna and flora
Making the Moon
Nature’s greatest
Wonder!
A deity for many
With great history
And marvellous mythology
A ball and balloon
For children
And for adults in the open
Under the dark or starry night
It is a great source of comfort
And joy.
Moon is a source of many songs
Romantic, rhymes and lullabies
And it has been with humankind
From the time
The universe came into existence.
Across the world
People envision
A rabbit on the moon
And they are all right
Because it truly appears so
And then the rabbit is a symbol
Of several things good
New life, prosperity and so on
Which we all long for.
But there is something else
Some of us see on the moon
When we are far away
From where we belong
Where our heart
And thoughts wander
Perhaps because
The Moon shines
Over there
And also on us
We see the person
Whom we love
And miss
On the Moon
And through the Moon
We dream of the person
To lighten our heartache
For at
least some time
Or until the Moon vanishes at dawn
And we get re-united the next night
And this goes on
Until we are finally united
Hopefully soon
In-person
By the mercy of the universal Moon.
