Moonlight on Meadows


                                       Moonlight on Meadows

                           With shines of moonlight on meadows
                               Speckled with tiny drops of dews,
                             The soft, sweet, shining grasses glow
                                  With full gleams of ivory hues
                                 Fill the air with cute awareness
                                  And invite one who truly wish
                                 To cherish its serene freshness
                               And sparkling splendour to relish. 

                               In the shine of a full moon night
                                 Meandering amidst meadows,
                                 Sparkling with a silvery light,
                               Dispels inner woes and sorrows
                             Prompts one to scan the inner self
                                Gaze at the serene, silent stars
                                And to be at peace with oneself
                                As the meadows stretching afar.

                          The bright shines of moon on meadows
                               Shooting like arrows from a bow
                                In the neighbouring field below
                              Sketch a speck of shady shadow,
	                      Seeming to make a humble wish
                           That the breeze carries to the moon
                                On its willowy wings with bliss
                                   To pipe to its destiny soon.

                           On moonlight night amidst meadows
                           Shining with gleams of the full moon
                              The humble wish of the shadow
                             From the moon is to seek a boon
                               To ever light his path on earth
                          To guide him to the route that`s right
                         And when he shall heave his last breath
                               To lead him to realm ever bright.
