Sufi Poem : Sit at twilight!!!


If you have some time to spare
search for a sea shore
and sit down there,
 at twilight
you shall see
some miraculous delights.
Closing the day's chapter
Sunlight fades gracefully,
and shyly emerging moon
gloats over it.
hey !!see that sight
a silhouette of returning
smiling birds flight,
Give an ear to sea waves encomium for night
pinning for a moon, so gorgeous, so nubile.
"Rajnigandha" buds emanating fragrance 
turning breeze into a heavenly scent.
do observe the seated trees
and learn
how they clink madly
to devour all the beauty!!
A pantheon of stars sprouts in an arable night
before
 earth makes love with erotic moonlight.
Sit there for some more time
until you feel " OMG, all this beauty is mine".
Then
 the nature will reveal an ageless truth!!
How
Moon,Sea,Birds,Flowers &Trees
sensing a DARK NIGHT ,get ecstatic!!
is it possible for we humans
to learn this etiquette,
and
whenever a DARK Night arrives
be ready with a warm welcome.

-Yaatri
