It was a warm starry night,
The knifelike breeze cutting through the deafening silence,
The clouds hovering around like uncharted phantoms,
The moonless sky scribbling its own rendition.
And I lay there, musing on my solitude,
Toying with my thoughts of the past,
A gradient of hue emerged from within,
Some flashed in gray, others bubbled with color,
While the broken pieces kept conjuring up unique completeness,
The mirrored reflection complemented the inner self,
That's how it looked through the pensive glass,
Just another day with my kaleidoscope.
