One night from my terrace

Deafening silence of the night,
A few dogs barking away from my sight,
Far away from city life,
Fireflies danced in the sky.

Breeze was in a mood to flirt,
Singing songs only a few could listen,
Humming a few lines I joined the chorus,
We sang together till the night was over.

Watching us, the moon gloated,
He was fighting a losing battle,
Clouds had rented hues from the sun,
Interspersed they glazed in crimson.

Whispering were the lonely streets,
Trampled by the men and machines,
Their whimpers were difficult to hear,
It was time for them to breathe.

Witnessing this,
From my terrace,
One lonely night,
I contemplated with keen observation.

What flowed was a soliloquy,
Of  beautiful past,
And unseen future,
A subtle smile crossed my lips,
Sealed all anticipations.

Humming the songs of night,
I joined the chorus,
Relished every moment,
Of the bewildered night.
