When the stealthy seconds slip slowly by
On a chillingly calm and lonesome night
And a knowing , friendly star
Winks at me to quell my fears
When the breeze heaves a silent sigh
And fireflies trace a flickering flight
When a nightbird tweets from afar
And another replies from somewhere near
When the meadows echo an infant’s cry
And a mother croons somewhere out of sight
When the clouds conspire to crawl up and mar
The moonlit sky , so bright and clear
Then it is that my dreams refuse to die
And Beauty stalls the Winter’s blight
The lingering pain from old scars
Dissolve in the silence and all is right.

beautiful poetry, soothing and serene! I found comfort in just letting this sink in. I agree -we need a collection of these exquisite pieces to read, re-read, hold, breathe in and cherish..and soon 🙂

Grateful for your words of encouragement. Someday, when I feel truly convinced that they are that worthy. Meanwhile I’m quite happy that you folks are around.

Dear Nadira
One experiences serenity and closeness to soothing Nature reading yr verse.It is so refreshing and soothes once old sores.I once again urge U to share yr creations with larger audiences by publishing in periodicals as also publishing as a solo collection.
