Melody of the Darkness Within
The moonlight seeps through the drapes
As the first rain of monsoon pours,
The sweet scent of the ground
Leaves a bold memory in my brain and heart.
Mesmerized by the perfect composition of the earth
The lush creativity and imagination of my mind which are bound
To stay within the closed doors
Of my mind, try to escape.
My 'material' body attempts to remain still
As a whirlpool of thoughts enclosed,
Forms chaos in my mind
At the dead of night while on the pillow I lay.
My brain reflects the events of the day
And they evidently occupy my mind,
As I remain restless even with my eyes closed
They venture into the brain without my heart's will.
Some unknown sadness had overshadowed me,
Since the comforting moonlight has been
Forbidden from entering my bedroom
By being enveloped in nothing,
But darkness by the evil, amorphous, rain clouds.
Although I felt fortunate enough to hear, on the corrugated roof the rain's sound.
The faint sounds of the hooting and screeching
Of the nocturnal creatures I assumed
Then I recalled that the crystal clear view in the morning would be a sight to see.
The mist has left the verdant plains
The rain must have washed away the dusted air from days before.
The virid new leaves shine brightly in the faint sunshine
As the birds twittering in my backyard wake me up from my sleep.
The old thoughts, imprisoned in my mind,will eventually slip
Out and create room for some new thoughts of mine.
The warmth of the sunlight has given me encouragement and motivation to explore
My hopes and dreams and my mind's depth and terrains.
