The unfolding of mysterious night.



The unfolding of mysterious night.

It was a dark night.
It was so dark
even I could catch every patch of dark.
The stars were twinkling with a rhythm.


The moon was shining brightly
but the moon seemed to be mocking  me.
I heard a screeching sound of an unknown bird as if it was alerting me.

Howling sounds from long distance,
moking of cicadas to silence,
rusling sounds of leaves,
made the ambience eerie.

I could hear the sounds
of some shedding leaves.
All the trees seemed to me dancing,
lifting their hands.

I got goosebumps.
Down by mystery of night.
But the nature helped
when the streaks of sunlight
unfolded  the mystery of night.
