A face called out to me.

It wasn’t known to me.

It was completely unknown.

The face smiled,

But then it vanished.

I didn’t search for it.

Few days later,

It again came infront of me,

And it said goodbye.

I was surprised,

Who would it be?

Adios!

I saw the moonlight.

It wasn’t scintillating.

Neither did it glow much.

Yet, it’s radiance reached me.

I didn’t feel mesmerized,

Nor did a song come rushing out.

But all the way,

The light reached the earth’s surface.

Even the fishes in the pond,

Avoided it.

Still the pond’s surface glittered like a new bright object.

The birds had gone to sleep,

And the dogs, cats, goats and sheep all closed their eyes,

And sleep came.

When everyone opened their eyes it was morning.

The sun was already on its way to the zenith.

But I saw the moonlight.

Adios!
