I promised myself that I will write a blog today, it being New Year’s day and all. But I didn’t have a topic and since I had promised, I decided to post a poem that I wrote some years ago. Enjoy!
Night
Oh the mysteries and wonders of the night
It never ceases to enhance the imagination
With a tinge of pleasure and a splash of delight
The result is a myriad of satisfaction
Her Majesty the Moon is mistress of the sky
She sails though the clouds in her chariot of stars
Sprinkling ions of light all through the night
Illuminating her kingdom both near and afar
Here comes the Night Wind with his lovely ballad
Of whispers and sighs and whistles and whines
Immemmorial songs both cherished and sacred
Timeless tunes that simply never die
Look at the trees, all dancing together
Nice and slow and in perfect symetry
Their branches and leaves all moving in splendour
A ritual of rustling guided by poetry
The light of the candle has thrown out shadows
Little actors performing a scene on the wall
The drama unfolds and tells a tale of sorrow
The last flicker of the tallow marks the actors’ last call
Down comes a beetle lost in the breeze
Twirling and twining, then up again in a whiff
In through the window to land at my feet
The night must be playful, for it’s just a leaf!
Oh the mysteries and wonders of the night
The cozy darkness that lifts the spirit away
If only I could sleep throughout the day
To enjoy the enchanting mysticisms of the Night!
