The moon speaks

The moon has come out today
Right there in the sky -
Glowing radiantly
I'm expecting a word from it
As I gazed, I expect an action

"Please gentle moon, do something
You've been old enough in this world -
Old enough to know everything
Many years have passed
I look up to you for advice."

As I was lost in thought and expectation,
A soft voice came from within saying,

"The moon has done all it could
Open your mind to learn.
By regularly appearing in the sky,
Learn to constantly pursue your dream.
In its beauty,
Learn to be beautiful in thought and actions.
In its circular nature,
Learn to be an all-rounder,
Leaving no stone unturned.
In its silence,
Learn not to be a talkative.
As it sails across the sky,
Learn to keep moving on.
As it hides from a dark cloud,
Learn to keep away from danger.
As it shines again after a thick cloud,
Learn to shine after every trial.
And, as its light shines on all,
Let your light shine upon all others.
