Supermoon: The Eye of God
Rays of soft light
flooded the room, pulling me from slumber. Its splendor illuminated this small
space, casting away the dark in the middle of the night. The lights were still
out as the electricity went dead since half past nine. Surprisingly, devoid of any
lamp lights, every corner beamed with soft glow.
I opened the door, to
find the source of this unnatural phenomenon. I gaped in wonder to find the
night glowed in splendor even without any single electricity. It bathed in the
soft glow of the moonlight. It was serene and beautiful.
I stared up at the sky, it was so clear and bright. The moon
shone down like a pure beam of light, flooding over the earth. A supermoon rode
the skies in its fullest. A ring of halo encircled it, bright in silver and
gold. A patch of soft white clouds formed a line of dazzling necklace around
the pretty moon. It was so big and close as if I could kiss the moon in one
swift movement. I was transfixed, stood in wonder. It's a picture perfect. I
gazed in perfect silence.
Last Saturday's night, the
supermoon was close to Earth. It looked bigger and brighter than normal. I wish
I was somewhere at the summit of a mountain so I could reach the moon from that
proximity. Imagining standing there with the super moon and stars, while the
nature chants with the most remarkable lullaby. What a night!
Alas! A creepy thought
crossed my feeble mind. A full moon means werewolves. The skin changers with
their bestial instinct to tear us apart, feasting on our flesh and absorb the
full energy of the moon!
Yet, nothing happened!
It was just me corrupted by imagination from movies and legends!
I stood alone in my
front yard. To see the blue moon soaring up in the skies, among the vast
galaxies around us was so amazing.
Getting a decent
picture on my smartphone was pretty much impossible unless I was going to rig
it up to a telescope and some special filters.
All in all, I felt so
blessed to bear witness of such remarkable natural beauty. I slept with
sweetest sense of peacefulness afterwards. Knowing that despite the wars and
agonies of the world, God keeps showing me that life is filled with many love
and wonders.
