When I Can See Night's Bones Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay
When I Can See Night's Bones
Only when there is a power cut
down here are city lights dead
Can I see up there the stars’ glut
Unseen moon over head!
I need sometimes a power cut
It’s when they yell curse
I open all the windows shut
To stare upon the stars!
I need sometimes a power cut
Like the horse needs the hoof
Feel a thrill in my gut
Run up to the roof!
It’s when is heard the groans
Of people blind to night
It’s then I see the night’s bones
Get the stars on my sight!
I need sometimes the power to go
When sky bathes in moonlight
Her beauty’s fullness night can show
Starry heaven comes to sight!
How true! I find the power outages to be a welcome occurrence. The silence, lit candles, more awareness of our surroundings, people actually talking to each other instead of staring at the television.... Occasionally, we need this to happen to remind us life does go on when the lights fail. Good poem.
in this busy world we need a power cut even to see the beauty of stars..like it sir

Very true.... We tend do all the backlogs which are being postponed indefinitely in our busy schedule.... Even contacting some of our old acquaintances is done when we are forced to take our glance off the TV, forced by a powercut.... Being out door and watching the night sky also is equally rewarding.... Enjoyed the poem!
