On A Moonlit Night Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

In this full moon night
Under a star filled sky
Enjoying the cool gentle breeze
Sit two birds on a tree
Silhouetted against the moon

The way they used to sit
On the window sill
Looking up at the sky
Eyes full of dreams
Of a happy life ahead

Gone are the days of youth
Gone are the dreams of youth
Life has shown many colours
Some lovely, rosy, bright
Some grey, faded and pale

But still on a moonlit night
Their mind takes a flight
Back to those happy days
When time was on their side
And life was a full moon night
