Nightscape

All through the nightscape
Garbed in a printed cape,
Fun wrestled with unknown
Thoughts of times bygone.

Diamonds in the dark,
Stars reducing the stark,
Darkness twinkling so bright,
Keeps you staring in delight

Towards the little bittle,
That rhythms in rhymes,
I gawk amazed for a while
While the wind chimes.

The moist leaves of grass,
As I walked barefoot,
Reminded me of time that was
Innocent; when I could scoot

Deep into the night all alone,
And get lost in the horizon,
With nothing much to call my own,
Except a will to keep marching on.

Gut wrenching in sensuous wonder
Making faces at the moon
I recall with pleasure today
Days I could whistle in tune

With the night’s that’s again here with me
Whispering delights in my ears,
Still shining with soft cosy cheers
Only my eyes fail to see.
