The 'Night Watcher Returns

I saw him standing there,

The sad sculpture that was not fair;

Suddenly I felt something strange,

That he and I were similar to a range.

Every time I met him in my break,

He just said ' stay awake ',

I ignored him clueless :

Thinking him lifeless.

Soon became my friend, The lone-time partner,

Motioning the winds towards me ;

To brush its invisible knuckles through my hair,

To comfort me always in times of distress.

One day I sensed his smile,

And I just watched him from within a mile ;

He just said 'child, it's time, stay awake ';

An unknown fear clothed in shivering robes.

I turned to run but,

There stood The 'Night Watcher:

Stretching his arms wide,

To hug his Daughter in Distress.
