Late This Night Poem by Akham Nilabirdhwaja Singh

Late This Night

Rating: 5.0


Late this night
Electric lights gone
I am sitting at the window sill
Looking out
Through the window.
The calm moonlight seen
Falling over the silent earth.
Making me remember
My distant past
Of agrarian life.
Oh! Flutist
Of the long past
Now play your flute
In this solitary hour.
Yet there is no haystack heap
At the courtyard
Nor the thatch roof stable
Where ruminating
Waging their tales intermittently
The cattle resting.
But oh, flutist,
Play your flute
From the distant horizon
To the tune
Long ago I heard.

I recognized a feeling of longing for that wonderful sound of the flute to play when we are mesmerized by a superb view of the moonlight. Excellent poem
