In conversation with the moon

In this not so dark night as I walk alone, I notice the moon peeping out from blanket of clouds, trying to lighten up my zone.

It conveys a strong message as it plays hide and seek, says even from the darkest of cloud I shall send you Ray of hope, never give up even if the chances are bleak.

It says; As I reflect the light that I get from Sun, see how I convert heat to just light that burns none.

It asks me; can you also be strong enough to reflect others reaction in a way, that enlightens the rest, but hurts none.

I am left with questions in my mind, with no answers to say. I suddenly accept this loneliness and for moments I keep starring towards the Ray.

Looking for answers around, I realise, with my own thoughts I start to play.

I tell myself not to worry, this time would end soon, it's just another day. Take charge of your emotions for they are as soft as clay, let mind struggle with its doubts, listen to what your heart has to say.
