Full Moon

I lay in bed, Suddenly awake At midnight, Soaked in sweat. As I got up To wipe my face, My eyes drifted To the windowpane. I saw the full moon Calm and compassionate, Its soothing white light Gently filling up My room. As if to touch And embrace me. I don’t know How long I gazed. Words can’t explain What transpired Between us in silence, For I felt My heart expand. Just as it does When a close friend Nods her head, As if she Understands And holds my hand. I don’t know How It happened, But slowly I felt The clouds of Sorrow dispel. My faith reclaimed That I am a part of A bigger plan.
