The Moon by my window side




Out of the dark clouds he emerged,

Smiling, from his hiding place,

He seemed to say – I am by your side,

Be brave to face the world,

Wiping my tears and inducing me with

All the good hopes of a better life,

Did he seem to vanish?

Do not leave me, I said in silence;

With a soft touch on my forehead,

Was he blessing me? He seemed to say:

Don't worry dear; I'll keep the promise to return

To take you to the universe of your dreams,

To find it all realized.

Dawn it was; I woke up from my sleep,

To see him, bright and throwing light

To the waking world, Blessed I felt

On this full moon day.
