Timeless Glow


Why do you hide your face, O Moon?


Out of anger or shame?


Or are you tired of all the glory and fame?


Does the limelight warm you or burn you?


Do you still seek public attention or shun it?





O Moon, you have been admired always…


You have been seen as the epitome of beauty


You have inspired millions…


Are you tired of it all…


Do you want your private emotions to remain private?





Your life has been snatched away from you…


Moon, do you think it’s a fair bargain?


You ‘lost’ your life in pursuit of elusive glory


Is it fair……?


Is fame desirable?





Don’t you ever feel like sharing the emptiness…


Why are you so opaque, O Moon?


Why don’t you let someone see the real You…


Dark and Cold


Are you comfortable in reflected glory?


No matter how wonderful, please know


Your heart has become numb in the voids of time





Open up and you will find…


The peak is lonely…


Descend a little…


In that insignificant defeat lies greater victory


You must be tired…


Its time you go back to the shoulder


Of the One who is waiting for you.
