Adorned by the pale streaks of light
Red, orange, purple illuminated the vicinity
Flocked up streets,
Gleeful faces passed by,
Nonstop chatters,
Click-clack of high heels,
Replenished my soul
Time flowed by,
Sitting still in the twilight,
Heart to heart conversations,
Heated conversations,
Family conversations,
Filled my ears,
Making me a part of them
Darkness crept in,
Street lights illuminated the path
Everyone hurried by,
Distant traffic uproar,
Filled my head,
As I watched
Nearly midnight,
Everything was still,
Occasionally disturbed
By the whispering cold breeze
Stealing my warmth away
Giving me the tearless-cry
In the scary night
A distant ding dong
And it is finally midnight
None around
A perfect end for the day
Yet,
This makes me feel lonely
Makes me pray for life
Reinforcing the Known fact
Impatiently
I wait for company
As the streetlights fade
Into the colors’ of dawn.
