SILENT NIGHT

THE UNIVERSAL RITUAL CONTINUES..
THE DAY'S PROGRAMME HAS ENDED
AND THE NEXT DAY'S PROGRAMME IS DUE

I CLOSE MY TEXT AND RISE
WITH ALL WORK DONE
AND THE MIND BECOMES ONE
WITH THE SILENT BLUE NIGHT

DARK ROOMS,SLEEPING PEOPLE
PLEASE ME WITH FEELINGS AMPLE
RELIEVED I FEEL IN SILENT SURROUNDINGS
NO MORE GOSSIPS AND NO MORE BOUNDINGS

IN THE BALCONY, DO I SIT
GONE'S ANOTHER DAY NOISY AND HECTIC
NO MORE TIRED I NOW FEEL
MOON'S GENTLE CALMNESS IN MYSELF I SEAL

I EXULT IN THE MOON'S EMPATHY
BUT JUST BEYOND THE HORIZON
STEADY FOOTSTEPS ARE BECKONING ME
FOOTSTEPS...
OF YET ANOTHER MORNING
LIKELY TO BE DEVOID
OF ALL WORDS OF MEANING

AND AS THE SILVER BALL
TAMELY FALLS
IN THE WESTERN SKY
I INADVERTENTLY BLINK
AMIDST THE MOISTURE OF MY EYES
WISHING THE NIGHT
TO GO ON AND ON AND ON.....
