The Night

Sleep, for tiny dreams await their arrival upon your drowsy eyes;

As night’s silence draws silky feather

Of clouds on the eased brows..

Wiping tears of sorrows and happiness
the lullaby singers add soothing tones to silence,

As silence sing along some dreamy notes...

The pen on the wide brown table lies still

As uncovered book pages await its readers

To join the league of muses and bards!

The night paces slowly, circling the full moon...

Here heartbeats, beat lightly, welcoming dream fairies

Whilst they touch colourful feathers of life

Into those sleepy eyes, awakening blissful beauties,

Beholding the night!

Here, between reality and truth

Lay new revelation of love and grace,

Staging human appearances of longing visibility;

Comfortably caressing wandering souls!

Here reason renews faith across horizon

Where time has stood still in this solitary journey...

A moment of pause and this sudden rush of fanciful dreams —

Shouting, screaming and relaxing, the pendant still hangs on

Crying for its release — shirking hurriedly engulfing thoughts!

Momentarily, the moon winks from behind the floating clouds,

Hiding, scaling and flowing with the wind, as tree leaves flutter

Creating noise, and disturbing such calmness of the

Night birds, who has cultivated some time, now.

Momentarily dreams break into ecstatic silence,

As life harmonises serenity and restlessness with grace and elan...!

The moon keeps winking more often breezing through floating clouds,
Creating facades and hiding behind it; and stars whisper few solitary notes,
Telling tales of wandering souls and sleeping beauties with their alluring eyes ...

Sleep as this drunken night await more dreams to beckon you!
