Night Blossom

a poem by Swarna

One lonely summer night
When my heart was without light
Filled with thoughts of my plight
But something new held my sight

A beautiful night blossom I saw
The scent of these flowers-
A call to the night bees – But
Fragrance of which pulled my soul

I laid one in my hand
It glittered with all its dew
I looked at the envious stars
I smiled at last
