The Moon And I

By Laboni Biswas

the Moon and i

waiting together for the sun to rise

She whispered to me

'what is it that you want at this time of the night?'

looking at Her and the passing clouds

i just couldn't lie

i whispered back with something

that only She could decipher

in the midst of this chilly night

the warmth that She then imparted

was beyond any words that i could ever describe

it was Her who came to the rescue

it was then that I realised

it will always be Her who will remain

every night, every moment in memory

in different shapes, during different phases

with every hello and goodbye

it's going to be Her, no matter what

it's going to be Her, forever!
