Lullaby of the Night

The smiling moon

Semi circle in shape

Became the cradle

Swinging left to right.

Sleeping in between

On the soft bed

Cuddled by the wind

And hugged by gold.

We slept

Angels in sky

Pampered by wealth

Of the mighty sky.

Dreams we had

Of speaking trees

Of dancing stars

Of flying wind.

Together they made

A dream so soft

So pure, so nice

They made us laugh every night.

And they came together

Down on human land

From far away

To make us laugh and play.

And they touched us

With their velvet body

Softer than feather

With the colours of gold.

It made us laugh

And giggle

And shout with joy

Happiness pouring out from every cell.

The moon became a boy

Shinning silver

With heavy dark pimples

And beauty outshining others.

The silent trees

Waved their branches

Like hoopla dancers

Under the effect of the mystic music.

And we lay

Safe and sound

In the cradle

Made by moon.

The wind blew

Fanning us

Keeping heat away

From our fragile body.

The branches curled

Like the snake

Dark and black

Sleeping and at rest.

Fragrance filled

The room we slept

Engulfing us

Filling our senses.

Pure wind

Pure moon

Pure night

Pure nature.

Touching us

With clouds of happiness

And we succumbed

To its fulfilling hands.

It patted us

Twice, thrice

And gave

A sweet wet kiss.

Filled with richness

Of the heavenly dew drops

From the falling sky

Held by the leaves.

The clouds unseen

In the dark night sky

Made soft pillows

For our soft head.

In the midst of it all

The birds sang

Accompanied by the night sky

And the golden light.

And we saw

A movie

Running live

Without a tangible screen.

It shifted position

With the wind

But did not disrupt

The telecasted show.

We shifted too

On our bed

To get a clearer vision

Of the nightly dreams.

Described by the nature

Portrayed by the night

Sung by the birds

A musical chorus.

And we slept by it all

Watching and seeing

The nightly show

In our deepest dreams.

A music so touching

Orchestrated by the nature

The biggest melody in itself

For us to have a peaceful sleep.

We closed our eyes

Falling under its charm

Which made our eyelashes droop

With sleep so sweet.

Against our wishes

We closed our eyes

And fell asleep

Amidst the wonderful music.

She stopped not

Till the song was sung

Making sure we would not wake

Till the morning light touched our face.

And in this way

We slept a peaceful night

To wake up and greet

The shiny sky with golden light.
