Night

Dusk falls upon minds down with the day..

Takes over the world, as daylight departs..

Night arrives, adorned with comfort and charm...

Relieving us all of the aches in our hearts..

A thousand dreams buried, broken or worn out..

Resurface tearing through layer after layer...

Unleash themselves under the veil of the dark..

The very essence of their soul, floating free in the air..

Like the shade of a tree, the night shelters them all..

The fulfilled, the broken, new and old alike..

Listens to them blabber like a patient old friend..

Their stories long forgotten, dismay and delight..

A shade of black, they say, is the color she wears..

Adorned with tiny glittery diamond like stars..

But the night has a different shade for each one of us..

A million hues I see when I see from afar..

To some it possesses the bliss of love and life..

Of moments spanning far beyond the limit of time..

Pearls stitched together in delicate threads..

Treasured forever in the heart, oh-so sublime..

It smells of midnight toil for a bunch of us..

Eyes wide awake, chasing some dream unfulfilled..

Counted moments and the will to see the sunrise..

Perserverance to stay awake and get success sealed..

And then come the daily warriors as we call them..

Striving to build a life, holding firm on belief..

The night embraces them as they call it a day..

Sings them a lullaby and puts them to sleep..

To few she's longer, and far from relief..

Dawn seems a distant dream, and happiness a lie..

Million moments of yearning, pain wrenching their hearts..

Chasing a flickering ray of hope, they stare deep into the sky...

Another bunch out there is of reminiscers,..

Nourish the love bygone, an old tune they hum...

Moments, memories, souvenirs, delights of the past..

Fall in their share every time night comes..

Then there are the wanderers, the hippies at heart..

Go on spiritual odysseys partnered with the night...

Let's their souls loose on new untraversed trails..

Wandering in the universe, they make the most out of life...

Be it fearful of the dark or the admirers of the stars..

Night is a mere reflection, of our own stories and scars..

An abode for the tired, companion for the alone..

A battlefield for perserver, a journey to the unknown..

An escape, a thing of beauty, food for the soul..

An chance to love the universe, its calm and glitter as a whole..
