Phases

(Night Seashore – Chennai, Tamil Nadu)

 

River moon

Out by the bay

Serenades my troubles

As I kneel to pray

 

Harbor moon

Shining by the pier

Chases your demons

Displacing your fear

 

Lantern moon

Illumes our journey

Keeping memories well-nigh

Calming our worries

 

Seasoned moon

Waxing in discretion

Arching all secrets

Protecting our confessions

 

Confidant moon

In the night sky

Reminding my patience

Farewell is not always a goodbye
