Chasing the moon

Uma Natarajan

Chasing the moon
Even at noon
Waiting for a boon
Staring at the sky soon
As it appears
Delight in me gears
Removing crazy fears
Fortells seers
With aiming peers
Moon is so friendly
Allows cordially
To stare at it sparingly
Unlike sun not allowing glazing
Would create glaring
Ending the pupils in blinking
