A Wish

I dreamt of the moon,gliding past,
To the stars,a twinkling glance cast.

The stars giggled in delight,
And they glittered ever so bright.

The moon wore the garb of mystery,
Its smile spoke of a secret story.

In a whisper,the stars huddled,
They wondered and grew befuddled.

The silence kept a vigil on the dark,
As spears of rays left their mark.

My heart beat a steady staccato,
As the earth danced in the sky's shadow.

I heard my soul sing an unheard song,
A melody,my spirit  sang  along.

The night,ever so enchanting,
I tried to fathom the mystery,fascinating .

I was lost,feasting on the beauty,
The night's soul had me in captivity.

A poem ,each drop of the black,
The moonbeams wrote,on their track.

I was drunk,soul and heart,
On God's magnificent work of art.

I gazed at the clouds and wondered,
If the night knew ,I,to it,had surrendered.

Gradually the moon lost it's lustre,
The stars dispersed,from their cluster.

Yet,I basked in the glory dimming,
When sun poured in, rays streaming.

I woke up,holding on to my dreams,
All ears,to the still ringing,nightly hymn.

The day from me,snatched my dream away,
But my fastened soul, it cannot sway.

And I wait for the sun to go down,
In the arms of my dream, again to drown!

Even as I am fading into oblivion,
I wish to carry this dream, the vision.

Let me live my dreams surreal,
Grant me a sleep, eternal.
                                          Chandni.
