The calm, lonely night creeped in stealthily.
It was almost midnight, but eyes are still wide-awake.
I sat beside my window, in that loose gown.
It seems bright moon smiling at me,
Mild, gentle breeze kissing my skin.
As the night carries on its journey,
Different feelings inculcated in me.
My memory flew on the wings of time to the days of crawling, toddling, walking & running.
The soft music through my eardrum,
penetrated deep into my soul.
Those were the moments of loneliness,
Moments those are mine, far from din & bastle.
Moment in which thousands of thoughts gush in together.
At one point, I start loosing in the thoughts of someone special,
As his memories infuse new life in my redeem soul.
That silence sometime seems peaceful but others painful.
Beside that, hunger in the night are painful too,
A mug of coffee & beautiful novel subsidises both.
Eventually time passed & dawn creeped in ,
With my mom's caresome scold
"still awake! now immidiately go to bed".
