IN THE NIGHT

        IN THE NIGHT

The restless vitality of the day

is covered by a dark blanket of night.

The princes and the beggars return 

to their dwellings - grand or modest

The people of the Earth retire for the day,

too tired for another word.

But 'midst the crowd are a few gems of humankind

letting go of their imagination, 

for is there a more creative time than the night?

They talk to the stars, learn their age old wisdom

they talk to the night sky,

which has secrets hidden deep.

They weave pearls of words on the

delicate thread of conversations.

They give something worthwhile

to the world to admire and adore...!

An appealing poem revealing several realities of life. Philosophical in a sense and beautiful from every aspect. :)

I liked the generality you estalished through these lines. A beautiful way to convey how all of us are the same and require the same things. :)

The ending is superb. The idea is great. You've not only depicted the beauty of the night but also matked out the importance of observing that beauty. The imagery is amazing and the thoughts conveyed are realistic and penned in an admirable way. I enjoyed the poem greatly. Keep up the good work! :)
