The reticence of the night-sky 
gets whispered in the depth 
of the oceanic lake. 
With a glimmer of expression,  
the tides portray 
birth-root of the stars. 
And the imagination of the pitch-black hour 
spills in the ink-ful extravaganza 
of a poetic thought. 
A tale of centuries 
looms large 
in the grandeur of the infinite ambience. 
And slowly,  
the light of reason 
spreads its prismatic carpet 
as the sun rises in sublimity. 
 
And all this voyage 
of the night's imagination 
wraps itself up. 
and subdued, just twinkles and dies silently 
with the last gleam of hopeful moonlight... 
 
And thus wakes up the morn,  
missing the delight that almost never was!
