Night

Underneath the abundance of stars,
An aroma that the winter carried -
Stronger than any other season
Lingered enough to be sensed.

Startled by the stark beauty,
Every breath savoured the night-
Elegantly dressed,
Stars sprinkled all over
A smile befitting took the centre stage -
Perhaps the passing cloud
Could have more than a glimpse.

Night is a disguise,
To be ahead of times.
Flesh shimmers only in broad day light,
Enlightened souls seek the darkness.

Thousand words can never string together,
To define calmness-
One who is soaked into the silence of the night
Befriends all fears.

Footsteps of night,
Never to be heard.
Colour of the sky is never seen.

Silhouettes far away slowly loosened the ends,
Balancing the act the humble night tiptoed-
And from the other wing rose the mighty Sun.

Awakened by the diffused rays
Mist drizzled to the ground-
Seeping through and through,
Till the wisdom nourished the roots.
