The decibels fade away.&lt;br /&gt;In my room, away from the city, the clock points at ten...&lt;br /&gt;I can hear the parched summer earth breathing under me.&lt;br /&gt;Just like her, life's ordeals have snuffed out my senses too.&lt;br /&gt;The mind... too hollowed to rebel or receive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A starlit sky peeps through the window... I shut my book and stand at the sill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A deserted road winds ahead. Not a soul vrrrrooms past.&lt;br /&gt;Rows of lamps spill the warm light... like circles of molten wax...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dog sleeps coiled- like the universe around him. Unwinding after a scorching day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stars twinkle aloof... I stretch out to them, barely across the frame.&lt;br /&gt;They don't inch ahead.... I'm too tired to reflect though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A night... pitch-dark, looms in my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I slip into my bed- a riot of stars gleams through the window.&lt;br /&gt;Amber beams sneak in too… with silhouettes of the trees…&lt;br /&gt;Curtains hang and sway in the breeze.&lt;br /&gt;I'm cocooned... in peace around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I play my walkman. Hirabai's melody seeps deep and deeper within me.&lt;br /&gt;Music blankets me like grandma's quilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stillness grips........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And stars twinkle... one by one,&lt;br /&gt;on the night within!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3381971955936737568-5393665784201618091?l=mayuresh-baji.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mayuresh-baji.blogspot.com/feeds/5393665784201618091/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mayuresh-baji.blogspot.com/2009/03/night-gets-solemn.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3381971955936737568/posts/default/5393665784201618091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3381971955936737568/posts/default/5393665784201618091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mayuresh-baji.blogspot.com/2009/03/night-gets-solemn.html' title='The Night Gets Solemn...'/><author><name>Mayuresh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15748947478736225342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
