A beautiful night...

It was late night,

I was awake

to the howling of the stray dogs

down the street

The lonely silence was no more alone

I tried to wander in sleep again

I couldn’t

The yellowish night bulb

Kept fluttering in the room in various ways

The gear in the motor of fan kept on babbling

Annoyingly I jerked off from the bed

I missed silence

Silence missed voices

Through the window pane,

I saw outside

Silence was again engulfing the streets

The stars kept on twinkling

There were several of them

And the cold breeze

Hitting my naked chest

I sat on the balcony chair

To spend the night with

Millions of stars, cool breeze

And silence…

Slowly I realized

It was a night worth awakening

& to feel grateful of

In silence, I hear Mother Nature’s whisper

Into my ears

Her soft caress over my head

I slept, thinking

“What a beautiful night”
