the moon is gone

Ah, the moon is gone
leaving the sky behind
and stars follow it
along the dark sheet
that was engulfed
on this beautiful earth

Along with it, is gone
the serene music of
waves of vast ocean
which happily took
colors of sky and
reflected them as is

Just before it left
I saw a drop of dew
that too reflecting
the whole of sky
along with the moon
and silvery moonlight

Now with the cool
moon gone for day
the heat here would
take the dew drop away
and the leaf it was on
will wait another night

Ah, what seperation
why this seperation
why does leaf  suffer
the pain and the heat
of being away from
its drop or dew

Am afraid that in
this hot sunny day
the leaf may wither
and never be the same
again to hold its
beloved drop of dew

But then I realize
the moon will come
but it will not be
the same as it was
the last night for
it would have changed
