Sky Glow- Abdul Malik Mandani

It’s a warm and surreally serene night.

A great milky wheel of stars

rises at the midnight’s horizon 

wet and shivering from the waves,

and the silver pale light of a gibbous moon

settles on the sea

glistening its tinsel-crested heaving bosom.

Moonlight rushes with 

every rolling wave to the shore

as if the light itself was pulling the waves,

The moon had cast 

the great net of silver light

and gathered up the whole sea

hauling it to the shore

wave by wave.
