The Moon Is Full Again
I have seen this wistful night before
A night filled with awe and rigidity
Trees hugging one another in the dark
Stone faces stare blindly into the sea bed
imploring the depth of the ocean
And hundreds of fish swim blindly ashore
The moonlight burst through the solemn sky
while big fish rides harmoniously on high
strong current hurl them to the surface
As the anxious fisherman takes a deep breath
and carefully gather his big net
Tall trees singing in the mystical breeze
looking rather comfortable and at ease
While the whisperer flirts around the room
Trying desperately to get everyone in tune
Poker face sits quietly at the back
threading upon the frozen rock
while the sun goes down on its tired back
I felt somewhat amused at everyone's attitude
Beethoven was a perfect choice
It made many of them rolled dice
Some seize the moment to take a nap
While others use the time to chat
I watched them scrambled along the secret path
waiting for the symphony to start
cars kept going round and round the bend
I kept wondering when it was going to end
Mighty men anchored down in Rolls-Royce
looking skeptical and swinging their tired bodies
Their feet have touched the sacred ground
It made them all spellbound
Everyone suddenly wants a slice of the pudding
The trees come alive all the doors opened wide
And everyone starts running after the Rolls-Royce
The entire world is singing an unfamiliar hymn
They are desperately trying to learn the new rhythm
Daylight peeps meticulously through the magnifying door
The moon is full and you must explore
