Dusk to Dawn

a poem by Ramesh T A

The Moon pops up when the Sun dips down the ocean;
From dusk to dawn the Moon reigns supreme on the Earth.
Once in 83 years the Full Moon appears twice in a month;
Once in 400 years twice in two months the Full Moon appears!

The second full Moon is the Blue Moon, rare in Nature!
But two Blue Moons coming in one year is a rarest wonder!
Such a natural event was a rarest opportunity to see in 1999!
In Jan and March two Blue Moons we watched by chance rare!

Every full moon day is a religiously auspicious day for all men,
When they pray and feast for the well being of their families,
Which is a part of culture that brings joy and satisfaction in life.
There is so much about moon in the dusk before dawn comes!

From dusk to dawn lovers and friends dine and celebrate parties,
A routine everyone follows as civilization in the modern world!
It is an enjoyable evening to dine with friends on the roof garden;
It is an unforgettable experience for the lovers to watch sea waves!
