A Poem In Waiting Poem by indira babbellapati

When night shrouded me
In that visible darkness
I heard the sun dipping
Down into the sea
The invisible rivers silently flowed
Into their final confluence

In that silence of night
There I heard a melody
Flowing from the moon
Arising out of the sea...

A distant melody it was
From the invisible singer

A strange melody it was
Of despair and hope
Of departures and arrivals
Of sorrows and smiles

I clung to the night's blanket
And waited...
