The moon still shines..



It’s not just another day she’d say. She saw the world through Alfred Noyes eyes – The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas; yes, she has experienced the moon from the hills, by the sea, travelling in a train, from her terrace but never has the moon caught her attention by the dusty roads of Chennai city, with the honk honk of the vehicles, the glaring lights, and the unbearable heat caused by the pollution. She stopped today, setting aside the agony of the day. To pause and live.

She shone in a crimson red pleading to the people beneath to look at her. The young lady draped in blue wanted to listen to her. This is no Grand ma tale, nor is it the search for a long lost soul-mate. It was, the rythemetic impressions of two souls in solitude, on one another. 

Shut was the noises around. Dark went the world.  There blew the Gusty wind. Immaterial became the material happiness. The hearts locked, both felt eternity in their beings. The thunderous clouds approaching them threw a lightening breaking their bond. 

Eyes set on the road she tried to look past the semblance. As the wave of moonlight guided her, she rode ahead never looking back.

She imbibed into her that all that we need to believe is that we are steering the ship of our own lives. And the best way to do it is to seek and enjoy solitude.

The moon still shines.
