Every time I see the full moon, I can think of a friend who
made me bright during my darkest night.
My life is like mellow-drama soap. I have resentments, regrets, failures
that hold me back. I have pain that
makes me low esteem. I have burdens in
my life that I keep for long. I feel darkness that turned routine and
seemed it is already part of my life that keep on haunting (and hurting) me all
my life. Plain, weird, naïve… my days and nights are boring. But I
accepted it because I thought this is what meant for me and besides I already
used to it. Until a friend came who showed life is more than these by
showing the reality and it opened my mind into the diversity of life. The
world is not enough to describe the beauty of life that I have so many choices
to pick which one, or two or three?
I have still some reservations and
melancholy that are already engraved in me, but amidst of these my friend made
me the full moon shining bright in the dark of the night. Making me happy
alone in the so wide space, like the moon alone in the dark sky. The
world may be dark but once in a while it becomes bright when the full moon
comes. It is nice feeling to be happy, it may be temporary but I have
hope, like the moon, that happiness will come again, soon. My friend made
me feel that I can be the moon, despite of having hard times, failures and
burdens in most of the times, my life can shine some times. The problems may
remain there but there are the other side of this world that maybe better than
the world I used to live (or hid). Life is not prototype. Life is
not a single choice like what I have. In many times we had the chances of
exploring our life, we can found what we really want.
But
the full moon can be the other way where it is the friend. In my moment
of sadness, here comes a friend, bearing the light of the full moon. When
in times I need answers, someone takes away my doubt, insecurity and even the
pain that I am suffering from challenges of life. A rescuer came to
brighten up my days. I will always remember a friend who owes own self
after the full moon. The personality, the
strength, and the spirit – I may shine through in the environs that so blue because
the light from a friend shines in me. I will
have high regards to the full moon and it has a special place in my heart, so
every time I will see the moon, I will always think of a friend because it
reminds me a moment in time that I will keep for the rest of my life.
Time and time again, the full moon will come and go but human
will pass in this world once. When I get old,
when I am feeble to walk on walking stick, when my teeth gone, wrinkles line on
my face, when I became exactly how the real old man looks like, there is only one thing
that I will always remember when I look up at the sky and see the full moon –
my friend. Whether or not the full moon is me
or my friend, I will always give the respect of the full moon to my friend. And when the time I get old and reminisce my better
days, I will shed tears pondering the happy days of today’s the full moon brought
into my younger life.
