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
