A Solitary Night

The day had finally gone away
With just a fleeting glimpse of the ocean so blue
Giving its empire to the night
Filling the space with sweet smell of dew

One such night I stood by the sea
Over the rocks, under the majestic sky
Watching the waves crashing on the rocks below
Desperately trying to get to the shore
Curious to know what’s on the other side
I saw the surf retreating and coming back again
Playing with the gravel with deliberate innocence
Stirring the sand into a beautiful dance


The sky opened up to the Milky Way
Stretched across the horizon
Revealing a million stars watching over me
Twinkling colors bright and shiny

The moon gently floating over the sea
Dressed like the night’s queen
The midnight flower welcoming her with glee
What a lovely sight it was to see

One such night I stood by the sea
Forgetting the loneliness growing inside me
The love and care I craved for
I found them all here
I found my treasure
In the vaults of a solitary night
