He enjoyed looking at the moon,
Every night, day after day.
He wanted to enjoy the moon with her by his side,
She didn't care, she would rather pretend asleep.
He waited and waited for her to look at the moon,
Every night, day after day.
She never looked once!
The moon is still glowing as it was, years ago,
But he is not asking her any more, too old and tired,
The past is gone and will never come back,
The present moment is the only truth
That is to be enjoyed like the glowing moon.
Every night, day after day.

Lovely painting and thoughts. The deep blues and the dark foreground give an ethereal feel to the moon. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and mood of this beautiful painting!! The story is a lesson for us all,that we need to give our loved ones time and attention.Time passes and we should not have any regrets.Thankyou Padmaja,its a poignant story and an excellant reminder.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I would buy this from you if I could! It's gorgeous, and I do love blue! The poem is very melancholy, but beautiful. Kind of a metaphor for so much in our lives, isn't it? I'm glad that we are the kind of people who look at the moon!
ReplyDeleteOh what beautiful colors, Padmaja, and such a glorious and wonderful composition. Your work is always so beautiful!

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing and visiting my blog
Nice painting and a lovely thoughtful post thank you.
ReplyDeleteOh do nice love the reds
ReplyDeleteLovely painting and equally lovely poem. I can understand how that man must have felt, don't we all want to share with someone we love things/ sights that gives us pleasure?
ReplyDeleteBut, I suppose, the person should have the same enthusiasm and love for beautiful things.
I make it a point to enjoy beauty in every way, whether i have company or not.
I still regret not taking the picture of the reflection of the moon on our swimming pool, every time , I would see it and think I must capture it in my camera, but unfortunately those days I was not into shooting pictures, and I also thought the moon is always there and our swimming pool too would always be there.
However things changed we to close our swimming pool, and the moon forever reminds me, that I should never postpone things, and just do it the minute I felt like doing it.
beautiful !
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a beautiful painting ,, OH MY I loved it ..
ReplyDeleteand the words that follow beautiful
Khaabare tu aakhe o pyaar nahi kuch hor hi c
Charhi jawani di bhul c kuch chir di lod hi c
Par aishque shayer bachpan vaang masoom hi rehnde ne
Ek paase vishwas ch hi zindagi kad lainde ne“DEBI” ne kai saal tera naam likhiya taariyan te
Tu v dass kade hawa ch ungalla vaundi c k nahin
Bikram's

ReplyDeleteGorgeous painting, Pad. The blues and green are so effective with your glowing moon. Great job my friend!

ReplyDeleteYou have managed to create the atmosphere of a calm, serene night with the moon shining bright very beautifully!! and the poem complements the painting.
ReplyDeleteYour painting is lovely...I can feel the warm summer night air. My husband loves to star gaze and look at the moon with his telescope...I should join him more often.

i don't know how you made this --- whether those specks are really fine specks of white paint or the same paint layered to form texture --- but it sure is stellar. :)
