Night is so alone
Silent
Dark
Melodious.
When the world
is in sleep
I listen to the
melody of dark.
The melody harmonizes
my soul to the cosmos.
I talk to myself
Rediscover the self
confined in a nutshell
Feel the storm within me.
The storm brings back
long forgotten stories,
I touch torn leaves of them
Try to put them in order
and fail.
Sometimes it rains
and drenches my parched soul.
I feel so alone
just like the night,
But complete
just like a full moon.
The dawn breaks
And I start my journey
towards completion
all over again
from the slenderest eclipse.
