Oh Take Me With You
An engineer-to-be trying to find solace and solitude in writing.
Amidst the clouds, the deserted stars
hidest thou,
concealing your countenance, your charisma,
from the world so vicious..
Oh how I await, to catch a glimpse of you,
that would quench my heart, quench my soul.
Adorned with dainty dales and ardent alps,
a vision that drives me through a trance.
Alas, the heinous world perturbs my thoughts.
I beseech you,
take me with you,
to a land devoid of gloom and grief,
devoid of misery and melancholy.
Bestow upon me your aura,
to dwell in it, I live and long for.
Thou art shy, so am i.
Hence I find in you a comrade.
The wicked world weakens me,
embrace me, embrace my anguish
I beseech you,
take me with you.

Beautiful! Mother Moon connects me with her rhythms and waves. I can't get enough of her beauty.
"The glow and beauty of the stars
are nothing near the splendid moon
when in her roundness she burns silver
about the world."
Thank you.
