CAPTIVATES A NIGHT

 

CAPTIVATES A NIGHT

Alone on the rooftop sat at night,
Full moon, millions of stars delight,
Bathed in silvery light, clouds hide,
Twinkling stars all messages reside, (1)

Uncanny solitude, silence, musical,
For an hour sat listening to the primeval,
Distant universe life raises doubts,
Unknown world a paradise scouts, (2)

Gentle breeze whispers undecided,
Moisture on hair cools decoded,
Far from the distance, the cuckoo is singing,
Resounding a temple bell ringing, (3)

Overwhelmed musical night seems,
Nameless existence to moon beam,
Learned minute presence illumines,
Silvery light washed sadness shines, (4)

The black spot on the moon is beautiful,
Human misdeeds correction spot dutiful,
Bright the human heart, radiant lightly,
Eyes matched with the moon slightly, (5)

Lonely roads below pavement wail,
Lamp post in gloom, melancholy tells,
Casually barks a dog shadow moving,
Drowsy, heavy eyelids, valley dreaming (6)

Slept, saw blue fairies' paradise allure,
A dream comes as a night of peaceful failure,
Weep the night with dew, dawn soon,
Vanishes the sweet dreams in a cocoon, (7)

Slept on the bed, a warm sheet cover,
Continued the heavenly feeling pure,
Prayed, Almighty, may awaken sight,
Loneliness and silence captivate a night, (viii)
