Saw the white half-moon
Over the dark Backbay
On this monsoon night.

I did not expect to see
Anything bright in the sky
Filled with grey and dark clouds.

By the time I was in Worli Sea-face
The Moon had burrowed a nest
For itself and happily looking out for me!

Moment like this takes me
Out of myself, and floats me
To the Empyrean, is that the word?
