That Long Night
That long night:
There I stood in a dusk
Wandering like a vagabond,
Finding ways to escape,
Surrounding so numb,
I fumbled.
Time fleeting fast,
I could smell the breeze,
As it kissed my lips.
Darkness of the night,
Mocked at my sight.
In that stillness of night I stood,
The waves of trees created magical spell on me.
I shivered in that dull night.
I escaped a beat, to find a ray of light.
Ah! That long night surrounded me,
With darkness all around.
My legs refused to move,
Dullness loaded alcove.
And there I stood all terrified, in that long night.
