It's just another lonely night ...

It has been a long time since I wrote anything here. This poem had been long pending, which I finally completed yesterday :) (I'd almost forgotten about this one!)

I think the "night" is one of the best things He blessed the man with! You can find so much solace in times of need! The serenity that the night brings is priceless! One can be so lonely while a thousand other things can be going on at the same time.

This poem gives a perspective of a lonely person, who just happens to create a mental map of the diverse things happening in the same night, in which he finds himself lonely.

It's just another lonely night ...

It's just another lonely night,

The streets are dull, nobody in sight,

Lamp posts are dim, so is everyone's balcony light,

It's just another lonely night.

A lot of events happen, some good, bad ones too,

People wonder how darkness can hold so much together,

While shades of hope & strikes of jubiliation find their space,

Glimpses of despair & winds of sorrow also stay in the race.

A doctor fought death and saved a life,

A soldier got gunned down, a few minutes past midnight,

A woman gave birth to her first son,

A life saved, a life lost and a new life, it's still the same lonely night.

A mother read stories to her five year old,

Where angels fought demons and fairies took might,

Students burn midnight oil, some fell asleep, a few brave enough to fight,

Affection nurtures or future beckons, it's still the same lonely night.

A drunkard bashed his wife again,

A thief got hold of a golden chain,

Some stars fell, wishes were made with delight,

So many things happening, it's still the same night!

A man made love to his beautiful wife,

A mighty deal was struck, when two giants agreed to bury their strife,

A couple felt closer to each other, after their first prom,

Love or Business, all combined in the same night.

The night will end, dawn will soon take its place,

The sun will rise and provide the world with grace,

The day will pass quickly, darkness will take dusk's place,

It'll be night again, more events to happen, good or bad, all in the same lonely night!
