Of Crescent Moon

This was a time years ago when I was walking back home after a long day in office and noticed the enchanting beauty of the peeking moon. I could not remember the last time I found it so beautiful. The words that unraveled in my head soon went adrift in a Facebook post, until it came back to me yesterday...


Have you seen a crescent moon lately?

Dimmed by the city lights,
obscured by the high risers,
diminished by materialism.

The same human race now ignorant of its gleaming beauty,
the soothing reflection, an enchanting vista.

So, have you seen a crescent moon lately?
