The banana trees
Green with yellow light
The moonlit night glow
The many shadows
The silence in the night
The dark shadows move
They blend in with the surrounding
They slowly go into the banana trees
The soft breezes running along
Carrying on with its normal routine
The dogs stop barking in the farm house
As the moon light casting her smiling rays
The farmer surveys around his farm
He can't say a word to his children
With his binocular he conducts his run
The moon light helps him to peep through
His eyes rest on the banana trees
The steady row and row of the shadows
He holds his binocular for a longer period
He thinks he sees a smiling face in the night
"Dad why are you sweating?
Yeah Dad why in the cool night?"
"You don't know what I saw tonight
It will be hard to reconcile the fact"
The eldest daughter takes the binocular
Scanning the farm she finds nothing peculiar
She trains her eyes on the banana trees......
She seems to think she sees her mother's face
She passes back the binocular
"So there is nothing to be seen?"
"I don't know Dad in this moon light
It seems my mother is smiling to me!"
