We met on a full moon day
And my heart was all radiant
Reflecting the love it perceived
Circumstance intervened
Like an obstructing otherworldly object
To make the bright orb wane into a faint crescent
Feeble glow, an arc eclipsed behind an envelope of dark clouds
My heart, now dark and cratered
Pain unseen, like the far side of the moon
I wait patiently for another fortnight
For a new phase
Whence the tides will swell again
random rants ruminations ramblings 
This is lovely. Beautiful, sad, and mystical all at once.

I will try to hold these lines with me through life. There are natural cycles in life and we have to remember that after darkness comes light.
