dear moon

dear moon,
I call on the One who provides
(us with) your light and I ask you,
to look over those who stare up at you
in awe and wonder
with feelings of despair and nightly loneliness-
let the calming scent of lavender ease their breath
let the cooling breeze gently close their eyes
let their minds drift into a state of tranquility.

as I set my humble mortal sights on you,
I am reminded of the joy
that is brought upon by your presence.

….crescent moon,
bringing us news
of another ramadan…
