Lunar Eclipse - A new moon's rising
I have seen you countless times before, Yet tonight I sit in my veranda,
Waiting for but a glimpse of you,
Never this excited for the moon,
Never acknowledged,
Yet every night you light my night,
Quietly silently you pray,
For me to look at you,
Each night I never did,
But tonight I sit for you in wait,
Then you show me your majestic beauty,
Your aura reflecting a thousand colours,
Colours I have never seen,
I sit looking at you in awe,
Within seconds you disappear,
Playing an eternal game of hide and seek,
I kept searching the night sky for you,
You no longer displayed your beauty,
Now you will return when I watch the sky no more,
Making me realise that the moon I had never seen before.
