Hums Of The Night

Dark and gloomy,

The world out was asleep

While I lay wide awake,

My mind pondered aimlessly

Through the field of curiosity,

Silent wails and moaning murmurs

Echoed through my room

But alas! The siren of obscure thoughts

Clouding my peaceful slumber;

What could she possibly be doing up at night?

They questioned,

How I wish I knew what I was doing!

As I ruefully chuckled

Mindlessly asking for an answer,

Only to drift that sorrow away;

While the night engulfs my loneliness

Tears stream down;

The dazzling city lights, peaceful peeps of nature,

Yet I felt woeful, missing something

That would complete me;

My mind a mess, heart in tangles

But a part of me could embrace,

As my soul had found its solace

Is she not scared of the night?

They doubted,

Oh! Only if I could tell them,

Nightfall was my place of healing

But all I did was heave a content sigh.
