Original Submission by Kalhari Kaluarachchi

The Moon light

It was the moon

that came to my sky.

Even stars would twinkle,

then disappear sometimes.

My eyes were full of moonlight;

I didn’t see anything brighter.

Then that blue moon

was in my sky.

It didn’t take long for the lunar night.

The whole world was covered in a dark sky.

Fireflies kept lighting the edges,

And I found my way in that time.

The moon started appearing later in the sky.

Clouds were there,

But I noticed the moon peeping bright.

Yet the brightness

wasn’t the same as before in the sky

I guide my life with my own light.

The moon is no longer a fantasy in my life.
