Revelation

I stood on my balcony,

Looking up at the sky,

Up at the beautiful moon

Who was shining so bright.

She smiled gracefully down at me,

Erasing all my worries.

It filled me from head to toe

With a divine and serene calm.

Her sons and daughters, the beautiful stars,

Stood by their mother, twinkling merrily.

They seemed to be playing a silent game with me,

And I played along, smiling gently.

It was in this perfect moment,

While I was surrounded only by beauty,

That I felt that everything would be alright;

That everything would work out eventually for me.

The moon seemed proud of my newfound revelation,

For she beamed, brighter than before.

The stars, sensing their mother’s happiness,

Twinkled and danced even more.

I walked back into my room,

Satisfied with everything I had.

I laid my head down on my soft pillow,

Knowing life couldn't be so bad.
