The night is weary
The night has had enough
No one cares to bother about it
No one cares to enjoy its beauty
To breathe in its cool freshness
To giggle at its windy stature
To love as its shadows sing of the hope
That the next dawn shall bring!
The night is weary
It has had enough of the look of misery
That everyone wears!
Either people are scurrying home
Or they are busy trying to keep their jobs
Some are even trying to keep on being alive
While some others are worried about
The deadlines that have to be met
When, sighs the night
They should have been enjoying
Lost in an embrace
Speculatively admiring the ocean sight
Or even recounting their views of the other realms
As they gaze at the blanket of stars
Yes, people, people of Earth
Should have been making the most out of the night!
The night feels useless, rejected
Old, worn and ugly
If only, if only it could fly away
It would have roamed across the oceans
It would have visited the millions of galaxies
It would have been the center of existence
But like the many men and women
Who worry about themselves
The night is bound to act
As per its set of duties
It can help it not
It has to be
Even if such makes it weary!
Excellent ! Deftly captures a ”mood” and an ”attitude”.The lines reflect a sense of ennui.
An evocative,allegorical work that addresses our common experience of the daily vicissitudes of life.
night wails and seeks forever on a still heart that holds on without surrender
only the moonlight can testify the tormented passion in hostile grip, beyond a conscious delusion
night cries…buried and condemned from reality, commends the illusion that promised true entity
