THE SOLITARY TRAVELLER

                         

                             

                               Behold the lonely traveller,
                                Keeping its solitary  pace,
                               Across the endless firmament,
                               All through the night and day.

                             The journey must be tiring,
                              Lonesome and painstaking, 
                             Traversing  a unique  itinerary,
                             That seems to be but unending.

                             Coming from its distant home, 
                             With a different look each day,
                             Putting up a magnificent show, 
                               On the seamless blue stage.

                              Beginning as a thin  Crescent,
                              Growing up in size each day,
                              It achieves full shape and size

                              After a fortnight's travelling.

                            With a face that is but supreme, 
                            In beauty, charm, and elegance,
                            Has been mesmerising millions,
                            Ever since the beginning of time!

                            How often do I wish to speak,
                            To this   heavenly  traveller,
                            Knowing well it won't  heed me,
                           And move on indifferent as ever!
