the smile of the moon

you have to wait
for it is not the time
you have to close your eyes
then open it
and be entertained
by the weaning light
at that colorful sky
as you watched with awe
as you are mesmerized
with magic
created by the sitting sun

it won't be long
then comes the moon
gently peaking at the horizon
then come the faces after
in varying shapes
full, new or in quarters

round like a coin
in the palm of your hands
round like a ball
a dancing reflection
as you gaze at
the far, dark deep ocean
in front and beyond

then a few days past
comes the shape that
will lit up your face
the moon is smiling at
your tired and weary self
the moon is like an agent
of delight sent by God
the moon is a remembrance
of a love gone by
as if it is saying to you
smile, smile, even if it's only
for a short while
smile until your heart breaks again
smile until you're relieved
from your sadness
of the moment
smile, as my dad
always said
smile, as if your life
depends on it
smile, for it won't hurt :)

smile, the antidote of sadness...and a smiling moon is a sign of goodluck, i read that somewhere :>
