One Night, the Light

Today, April 21, 2025, I gazed at the moon from the terrace, lost in deep thought, and expressed it in rhyme.
One Night, the Light
The moon glows bright,
But where is my height?
(Am I rising? Or simply standing still beneath its light?)
Each time I fight,
Yet I find no light.
(Struggles bloom like endless night, with no reward in sight.)
Sometimes life bites,
Fell so hard, I become tight.
(Pain built walls where hope once grew now I feel nothing, passing through.)
Each day when I watch the kites in flight,
I’ll grasp that dream, hold it might.
(New visions spark, a shift begins struggles don’t mean life can’t win.)
Again, I saw that guiding light,
In the quiet hush of night.
(It whispered: “Even pain has role resistance builds the strongest soul.”)
I think I see with wiser sight,
That glow was only borrowed light.
(If I can see the mirrored gleam, perhaps I know what life might mean.)
Is life a rite, a sacred flight?
One day, all will turn to light.
(Nothing stays, no pain, no fear each dusk departs, and dawn draws near.)
