A Journey at Night

My journey through a night... hope you all enjoy!!

Lo! here is a Soul that travels in a limousine,

Air conditioned, so, traversing the window glass

Disbursing curtains to see, just to see,

Forgetting sleep, to think,

Contemplate, write,

the Beauty of that night!

 

The Coach wobbles forward

With no whines and flutters,

Across a thousand mile, till it's dawn,

To a decade-after get together,

Go Victoria!

 

At the max efficacy of the engine,

Bustling objects; the roads, the trees or me?

A travel from the capital to the cape,

To a Keralite Wedding, long expected.

With an empty seat by my side,

All the controls at full reach,

Delving into the social world, Facebook!

 

Murkier it turned, Chillness profound

Breaking mobile networks,

Jumped my sight from the Social world

Out into the skies anticipating a glimpse of  Heavenly Blue, but,

A dull Grey canopy, betrayed the Vault of Heaven

And apologized in tears, drizzled

Blessings in disguise for a farmer, if any on the Highway!

I excused and bent down to see..

 

Lights in the dark, not diffuse, confined in a regular pattern,

Flocked like bottles in a champagne bucket,

Lined up on a turned-off disco floor,

Shining discontinuous, linear white necks against the dark night.

Amazing! Streetlights or fireflies?

It seemed to disappear after a stretch, then

Realised i, that i had just passed by a village,

Wish you were fireflies, golden and carefree,

Wish you stop once, Benz, for me to get them in a jar like a kid!

 

Not to forget those with the universal existence,

Stars in the sky, no words to describe!

Grey sky ,Cool night, Crescent moon,

Clouds like the silver threads of a 'bluish grey silk saree',

My next demand will be, my loving brother!;-)

 

At the Toll, leaning on my couch,

I attained an impressive insight!

Buffaloes in a truck Vs  men in the bus

Two separate lanes, heading in the same direction,

What difference does it display?

May be you stand all night, We lay each on a cosy couch,

We see you, knew you, But you?

We together sweat, toil together day and night,

To fill one empty pouch midway down the anatomy,

And man additionally pampering taste buds! Fifth Sense!

Yes we are, i realised!

 

Submerged dreams are disguised vagaries of life,

I assumed, i dreamt more to make them real;

Then, Loneliness became me

And the Soul attained a seemingly eternal peace!

 

Set back upholstery, one final,fine stretch,

Snug fit in the seat like into a perfect quilt,

Lost in music, lost in love!

Love of the night,love of the solitude

Love for a life traveling all nights,

Wish i had one more travel, one more night!
