About a sharp and lonely moon <br />Among the sea of stars and clouds <br />A smileless sigh, a doleful look <br />Alone, alack! a wail anon. <br /> <br />A swing, a sweep, across the deep <br />A sky above. a sky below <br />A rook. a roost. aside beside <br />A long tunnel behind beneath. <br /> <br />At once around the moon a smile <br />As lit anew among the gloom <br />As it was light to life benign <br />Alone a waft of soft delight.<br /><br />Raveendran N.V.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-a-waft-of-soft-delight/
