Night

Following the chorus singing the Christmas carols ,

SILENT NIGHT ! HOLY NIGHT ! All is calm ! All is bright ignited the spirit to welcome JESUS.

The birth of the Lord was most awaited by the world in a haste ,

The Kings , the shepherds , the angels and the horses all were eager to witness the birth .

The holy night witnessed the blessings of all ,

Inside the stable Mother Mary finally gave birth to the Lord.

How divine that moment would have been !

As the stars twinkled as if to wink in its sparkling charishma.

How benevolent the time would have dawned to rejoice over this sacred moment!

Good gracious ! the sheep were all awestruck at this ennoblement.

The stable in Bethelehem shone brightly with this holy birth,

The night was embellished with the presence of angels from heaven ;

And the kings from distant lands to bless the new born baby.

As love , hope , despair , distress or even happiness turmoils ,

Darkness envelops all these into its distinctive flamboyance.

To shelter those who are homeless,

To raise an alarm when the dogs bark in the serene streets.

To purify our hearts when the Church or the temple bell rings to penetrate high spirits,

When the Sun sets to aware the end of the day into a horizon.

To embark into a journey of seclusion and scintillating beauty and enigma,

Beethoven would have been delighted to compose a few renditions.

To feel the intensity of darkness with all our might ,

To cleanse the narrow minded superstitions or the malice until the next sunrise.

The moonlit sky adorns the spiritual sanctity,

And smiles with a pride to enthuse love like the CUPID.

The lovers seem to elope with a divinity ,

Where the mind is without fear to embrace without any hesitation.

Love overpowers everything in that rejuvinating darkness,

The lanterns symbolises the light to penetrate the hostile minds.

To uplift their unholy spirits into a transformation that the night specifies.

With the new sunrise the day embarks on a journey ,

Of blooming new smiles in the garden of good thoughts and positive vibes.

It's the night that digs the sanctity and holy spirit to explore our malpractices or wrongs.

Life is a journey of learning through experiences,

At night we explore our sensitivities which culminates into a transformation.
