Shining Moon on a Rainy Night

My friends laughed at me 

When I said, I saw a shining moon on a rainy day

They never believed

And asked me to prove it

On another rainy night

There was a glimpse of faint moonlight

Shaded by the moving clouds

They had reason to say I was wrong

With a tint of humour

As it’s impossible to see the moon

On a cloudy dark rainy night

It was a tough image to capture on a canvas

As my painter friend tried her best

To recreate that shining moon with colours

She gave up after messing with three canvases

On that special day, it rained throughout

I thought the rain would take a breather at night

But the rain clouds refused to leave

And it kept sending millions of rain droplets

Without any intent of reducing the vigour

Even as the day ended

It was a full moon night,

But the moon was nowhere to see

As the clouds covered the moon

As if, they had a pre-meditated motto

The cold rain breeze made the evening chilly

As the thunder and lightning stayed away

The scenario wasn’t that terrifying even in that darkness

Slowly, rain paced itself down to a slight drizzle

Dancing in various angles forced by the breeze

With clouds making their way out slowly

To my surprise, I started seeing brightness in the sky

Slowly it became clearer

With the moon making well-orchestrated appearance

Glittering the cloud leftovers like transparent smoke

The sky looked enticing

Drizzling raindrops were visible

As the moon appeared in it entirety

Smiling as if it conquered something

I was able to see the swaying trees

With raindrops oozing down

From the tips of their leaves

Even some stars were visible

I was wondering if it was a dream

To see the drizzling rain, swaying trees, shining stars,

Beautiful clouds and breeze

Well lit by the full moon

As it looked auspicious in a way

I was watching the rain being a rain enthusiast,

Sitting on my balcony as power broke-down

As usual during heavy rain

First in darkness, then under the magical full moonlight

Truly an amazing spectacle that I keep in my heart
