My Silent Therapist

Its a common saying, when someone is in love, they feel 'Moon is more beautiful'. But I don't agree with this equation. Because I like the moon so much since my childhood!! Its not the case that it shows me my favorite face or reminds me of someone dear to me, I just like it. It happens sometimes with us, we randomly like some place, some thing, some person. Something like this.. 

I like to watch sunrise as well. But I had different level of relation with moon. When sun comes on horizon in morning, I bow down to it with respect and feel tremendous freshness in the air. But when moon rises in the sky, it gives a broad smile on my face. It feels like one of my close friend is affectionately asking me 'Hi, How are you?' after a long time.

I still remember, as a kid whenever I was travelling in night, I always use to select the seats from where I can see the moon in sky. I use to play 'hide and seek' with him for whole journey. In summertime, when it becomes too hot, particularly in the month of  April and May, we use to sleep on terrace. During that period, one of my favorite activity was to look at the sky and observe moon and stars. Now-a-days also, around full-moon days when my room is full of moonlight, it gives immense happiness.

Since longtime, moon is the inspiration to many people. Many poet have written poems on him. Lovers always use to chat with him. I never had any conversation with him. His existence in sky makes me happy. Watching him silently moving in the sky makes my mind restful and peaceful. He is always there in darkness and light. Everyday he has a different version, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, just like a human mind. May be this could be the reason, he feels very near to our hearts.

In his life-cycle, he also goes through many phases, sometimes grows and sometimes shrinks day by day. But he never complains and accept all the changes happily. Through his behavior teaches us to be always ready to cope up with the change. We have to leave some things in the course of time and capture something new.

He never fight or question neither he solace someone. He listen to everyone and keep their secret safe in his heart. Even though he is incomplete, he is beautiful, peaceful and pleasant. Like a silent therapist, he has given my mind the privacy, piece and new energy  that keeps me moving forward in my life.
