I was awake

I was awake all night
looking at the moon
and countless stars
and how the moon
passes by the night
kissing these stars
till it is tired for night
and retires from sky
to come back again
after a days rest

In midst of all this
I witnessed myself
as a sail of a boat
in middle of far sea
stranded, unmoved
missing my beloved
that gust of wind
to take me closer
to the shores of life
that wait there for me
in a land where you
where you and I live

In a land of roses
and colored lilies
where seeing you
I would get restless
as a wind seeking
those very rosses
their soft petals
and their fragrances
to rest with my head
on their shoulders
covered by the little
speck of thorn
protecting me forever
