Hushed Night
I, me and myself in the dark stillness
Surfeit with the liberty of absolution
My thoughts float along with the silence
Of the tranquil gliding fish in my aquarium
The moonbeams peeping through the sheers
Are warmed by the glow of the gold fish
I relax on the easy chair with my eyes shut
Soft music plays on welling up my emotions
Its calming effect is soul rending and it works me
To a catharsis with strong currents of rivulets
Bursting down my cheeks uncontrollably
The fish swim in warm waters as I in saline tears
I soak my pensive mood in verses in this hushed night
