The Tranquility of Nighttime

By Prisha Poddar

The sky set with a deep midnight hue,
The stars-a beautiful view.
In the vast expanse of night, they gleam,
Twinkling jewels in a cosmic dream.

Like secrets, they silently keep,
In the tranquil night, while we’re asleep.
Shining bright with an ageless grace,
They light up the dark with a silent embrace.

Their stories whisper a tortured past-
Legends of love, death, and betrayal cast
Their sorrowing shadows on the moon...
You could say I had been swoon.

The universe was a vast place-
The beauty it held could never be replaced.
The constellations, a celestial art,
Written by nature from the very start.

They guide the lost, inspire dreams untold,
A timeless story in the night unfolds.
They paint the canvas of the night above-
A testament to the universe's boundless love.
