Underneath the Moonlit Sky

When the egg yolk sun vanishes away And the crimson of heaven begins to decay Moon ascends to the throne of sky Now fully mature, she is using her strength to untie Fairies constrained in space by cosmic power___ Finally free, they all take out their wands in delight Silver fibers spring out from those wands And cover like a magical shield, the whole wide world They reaches the Earth and the silvery shield remains intact Which brings to life even the dormant creatures of the Earth Earth's inhabitants welcome the ethereal beings, And In the best possible way, do their biddings Wind blows through woods to play the music along The Leaves which sing the most bewitching song Flowers unleash all their Aromas Awakening the fireflies from their fortnight coma But Sea is cold to them like Neptune For she is in love only with the Moon And she will dance for the queen of Night Like a mad maiden in a very huge gown She rises and falls, rises and falls... oddly Struggling to somehow abandon her body To enter the spirit world and to embrace____ The Moon just like matter sucked by black hole in space So, she dances furiously in complete ecstasy And never gets tired even for once In the silver cold magical light I too watch the show as a spectator, but silent And my heart gets filled with magic and joy It goes on and on until the Dawn turns the silver dark to Crimson again Horizon ignites... Moon becomes invisible to sights Fairies are called back And the sea finally halts...! __________________ (Paghunda Zahid July 31st, 2020) (placed 1st in COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE (10)any form any theme, sponsored by: Brian Strand)

Such a lovely poem. "And she will dance for the queen of night Like a mad maiden in a very huge gown" - this intrigued me.

Thank you Edward, means a lot... Will try your contest some other day... This poem was first titled as "In the shadow of a full moon", but after seeing your contest, I changed the title, but then I find out that your demand was of free verse. Had I known before, I would have written in free verse where we also have a bigger room to express our thoughts. Thanks anyway :)
