Unaware about the
celestial magic happening in the sky, the amazing lunar eclipse going on, with
just a little bit of the moon left to be engulfed by the earth’s shadow, a man
hurriedly riding his bicycle to return home, people scrambling on the bus home
bound, while a simple soul like me has parked her car on the road side on the
highway to catch a glimpse of this breath taking phenomenon of the sun, earth
and moon aligning for the wonder of nature to happen.
For me, the moment has stopped and
everything can wait, or I’ll have to wait for another hundred years to watch
this magic happening again. There, the earth has cast its shadow completely on
the moon, and I drive crazily back home to reach in time for the moon to come
behind its veil and cast its magic on the earth.
Without wasting even a second, as soon
as I reach home, I nestle in my cozy armchair with my cup of ginger tea, all
set to drink in the magical potion of the moon, my moon. In all its resplendent
beauty, I see the red moon, completely in awe. With every passing second,
mellowing its shade of red and merging into its bright yellow phase, showering
the earth with its magical moonlight.
Does it make me swoon, sway and get
dizzy to go in a frenzy to dance to my heart’s content? My heart does that
exactly though my body is just a spectator witnessing the reality and never
wanting this to end. The moon has broken free from the tentacles of earthy
shadows and the entire sky is his now, coming even closer to the earth, to
shower its love for everyone to get energized.
Just like the strings of the universe
are pulled by the hands of the almighty, the strings of my heart are pulled by
you. Whatever colour your are, red, blue, yellow, white; whatever size you are,
full, gibbous, crescent, a sliver or gone in hiding from me; even if you are
once in a blue moon for other, for me you will always be my ever and forever,
and I will always love you my moon.
