Nights

In night's embrace, elusive sleep does flee,

Fear of dreams unattainable, shadows unseen.

Specters masked, illusions weave their dance,

Loved one's fading whispers in life's vast expanse.

I tread through mazes of musings untold,

Anxieties of futures, regrets of old.

My mind's corridors, a labyrinth's twist,

Seeking echoes of lost souls, yearning persists.

Darkness, muse mysterious, whispers to me,

"Release, just breathe, let your spirit roam free."

Inhale life's essence, scars worn as art,

A silent plea for a voice, to shatter the heart.

'Me' dwindles to ember, yet I persist,

Feigning vitality, through time's ceaseless twist.

Sleep remains distant, a wisp of a dream,

Leaving me yearning, life's solace to redeem.

Nights echo solitude, darkness profound,

Glimmers of beauty on its edges, unbound.

Silence speaks volumes, the clock's endless chime,

A voyager on night's river, lost in no time.

The moon's silver arc, stars' stories untold,

Night's symphony, secrets of the soul unfold.

Window beckons, city sleeps below,

Nocturnal realm where ordinary aglow.

In stillness, I witness dawn's tender birth,

Sky ablaze with hues, the most precious of worth.

Lingering 'twixt night and day's gentle sway,

Embracing the darkness, where dreams hold their say.

Solace found, in sleep's elusive flight,

Beauty, introspection, in the depths of night.

Connection with cosmos, a profound delight,

As wakefulness unfolds, through the hours' flight.
