The moon’s moist eye
Stares at me
I whisper
‘I am rusty and broken’
The breeze
Overloaded
With tuberose scent
Stops
Listens
Gives me
A fragrant hug
And softly glides away
The moon’s eye
Glistens
Sheds
Silver drops
Into my soul
Breaking
The flakes of darkness
I am awakened
To a glowing beauty
All around

Better than a prince charming's kiss is that of the breeze filled with tuberose sent by the empathetic moon. I can well believe the healing of moon's tears and the sense of a new day. Thank you.
