Beauty of Nights

Every night adds beauty to the days
Without nights the days would be colourless
Without nights the days would be charmless

The night gives a halt to all
The hurries and worries of the day
Even, the birds the most restless of all
Give a break to their wings when night comes

The trees dancing to the winds
Stand still and take their rest in nights
The bugle of murmuring crickets and friends
Adds the background music to the nights

The golden milky rays of moonlight
Fills up the valleys and hills
And with its chilly healing touch
Eases the stress of minds

It’s in night the angels of heaven
Comes in your dreams to fulfill your wishes
For at least when you are asleep

O the beauty of the darkness
The soother of all pains -
The furtive of time -
I owe my secrets to you..

Cherished Friend

Is that by some odd coincidence ?
Or by heavenly desire ?
In these strange walks of life
We cross path with many people.

Some move towards us
Some move away from us
With some we share -
With some we spar

But with a special few,
We seem to have no choice
Who brings in cheers
And takes off our worries
Each has made an impact on the other
And their memories will live for ever.

It was not a choice of mine
And never even dreamt of that
Still by some unknown chain of
Succession of births -
We were bound to be met and -
To walk together on this earth
Few miles of our life, at least..
