That Midnight Star!

 

It is a lonesome lovely night,

I spend with what an awful might!

A wholesome lonely fight I do,

When my position has almost become so.

In this troublesome loosely gait I grunt,

When I happen to recollect my unfulfilled plight!

 

A Star appears in the midnight Sky

And twinkles with red, white and blue light.

It stands on so in the same place

Till the red dawn appears in the East.

 

That midnight Star gives light to my face

Its pleasant colored rays come to change my mood,

When I am lonesome in my glass abode.

But that Star is also lonesome in the Western sky!

 

Indeed it reminds me of wonderful dreams

My heart swings with new gaiety!

I feel I can fight out the mighty to the ground!

It seems I can breathe a free air...

 

Its stay there gives me great pleasure in all my dreams

That Star stands alone representing all in a single entity.

Its silent light shines with paramount beauty!

Indeed that midnight Star is a great wonder of God!

 

 

A Night Star Message!

 

The time is running fast to a great deal today!

Night has come and darkness has captured everywhere;

Moon has risen in the East and has gone up in the sky;

Stars are seen with dim light everywhere in the night!

 

Above all, there is one single Star shines bright

Separately in the western sky quite unique sure!

Is the Star that stands all the night or some nice

Planets like Venus or mercury misguiding all men?

 

A single unique Star I have seen in the western sky

Long ago, that was a midnight Star that gave me company

Once, when I was lonely with a lot of things taxing

My mind to resolute to have a clear view of life then!

 

That midnight Star reminded me of North Star that

Ever stands steadfast making me follow so in life!

 

 

What a Pleasant Evening!

 

What a pleasant evening this evening is!

The silent crescent moon in the sky,

The trees of the land and the clouds of the Sky

Standing still at the majesty of the Moon,

The gentle breeze from the South moves with ease.

All these, Nature's silence mocks at man's violence!

For, this silent beauty never fails in duty.

 

The keeper of time never delays any splendour in suspense;

Inevitably, some may have spent up their time in odd jobs,

Most often monotonous works, which nobody likes to take up;

For them and many others, Nature is the only solace;

It's better to lie down somewhere in Nature

Suitable to sing songs in praise of its beauty,

Rather than to fly high against the odds!

 

Moon, Stars, trees, birds do their jobs,

But for the poets, who is there to appreciate them?

Yet, the beautiful jobs they do, they do regularly and perfectly.

There are so many things to be learnt from Nature,

But this is the one thing man always fails to understand -

Nature is a lover of perfection through creation.

 

Beauty, grandeur, richness and variety

Are what Nature aims to achieve

Unlike other beings, man alone part of Nature

Can think and do great things,

But most often fails to think and achieve perfection;

Indeed man but not Nature is a great mystery!
