Nocturnal Psyche

NOCTURNAL PSYCHE

Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

After a long day of an usual life

The night lullabies you to sleep

And although you rest your flesh and blood

The mind may not be at peace

Physically you lay still and free

But mentally occupied in thoughts

Reflect on the day gone by

Smiling at gains or reminiscing the loss

Then walks in through the doors

Reasons, songs or some poetic rhymes

You keep them to yourself in your mind

The nocturnal creative psyche

Heaps of stuff thus gets stored in there

Some other nights you may again rewind

But when does the sleep overtake?

And when chronicles of dream unwind?

The mystery is yet unsolved to me

As it is…. Dawn already? My wake up time!
