That Midnight Star

a poem by Ramesh T A

It is a lonesome lovely night;
I spend with what an awful might!
A wholesome lonely fight I do,
When my position has almost become so.
In this troublesome loosely gait I grunt,
When I happen to recollect my unfulfilled plight.

A Star appears in the midnight sky!
And twinkles with red, white and blue light!
It stands on so in the same place
Till the red dawn appears in the East.

That midnight Star gives light to my face.
Its pleasant coloured rays come to change my mood,
When I am lonesome in my glass abode.
But that Star is also lonesome in the Western sky!

Its brightness cheers me up,
When I lie on my bed;
It’s the time I try to forget the world,
I seek for a temporary sleep,
I try to keep up my spirit.

My anxieties fly away to winds!
I see brightness in the darkness within me!
I am recovered by a tinge of joy from nowhere!
I can strike off all of my baseless fears.
I know it is all happening by the spell of that Star.

Though the Cosmos enclaves all galaxies within itself
That Star stands alone representing all in a single entity.
Its silent light shines with paramount beauty!
Indeed that midnight Star is a great wonder of God!
