Contrasts

Night unfolds like an ancient scroll,

displaying a painted expanse of contrasts,

A sea of isolation exhibits itself in darkness,

upon which an unblemished reflection of the

shimmering full moon

trembles gently on its surface.

Distant city lights flicker like crystals,

strewn on a black canvas of uncertainty,

How some things gleam with a defined clarity,

and others disappear mysteriously

in an abyss of bleakness

Thus is the human condition,

it becomes

an image mirrored in the late hours of the night,

A blend of light and shadows,

black and white

all inside,

Discrepancies revealing

deeper shades of emotions,

A longing to be overwhelmed with beauty and joy yet a reluctance to yield to it,

This is how I miss you,

with tears and smiles,

Longing and acceptance,

Reminiscence and forgetfulness,

I find you in the light of illusions,

Miss you in shadows of realities.
