As The Moon Poem by tej Singh

As the moon

Quietly stands in the shadows

In awe of the sun

Who in all her radiant glory

Lights the world

Giving life to all the earth and its creatures

Bringing joy

And dance

And laughter

Spilling through the woodlands

And glistening on the dewdrops

Giving the river her sparkle

And the child her smile

As the moon

Silently stands

Watching

Absorbing

The warmth

The light

As the sun plays with creation

When the sun leaves her work

And the earth is wrapped in cold and darkness

Wondering

Why

Where

Did the glorious Sun forsake us

To leave us imprisoned by the night?

Then the Moon rises

As a light in the darkness

Beaming his soft, pure light from the Sun

And we all look up

And are comforted

Knowing that we are not alone

For as the Moon is seen in the darkness

Only because he submitted to the greater Light

And soaked in her glory

So must the saints bow to their Lord

Knowing Him

Watching Him

So they too may shine their Lord’s light

In the dark world.
