Night Fall At Satyasai Enclave Poem by Bharati Nayak
Night Fall At Satyasai Enclave
As the night falls
Shadows gather together
To form one big whole
The white houses
Of Satyasai Enclave
Raise their heads
As if to talk to each other.
Lights bloom
one by one
From room to room
With cricket bat and ball
Saying bye to one another
Children return
And sit for the lessons.
Mothers hurry
To offer the evening prayer
And for tiffins to prepare.
Leaving the office
Gentlemen return
To the welcome
Of wives and children
Winding up the evening walk
Ladies set to work.
From some houses
T.V. sound blazes
Some enjoy the silence
That hangs on terraces
The gentle breeze comes
And knocks at some doors
It is ghost for some babies
For some it is fairies
Night gets dark
Light goes off
One by one
People resign to bed
And dream for
The morning sun.

Your comments are always inspiring and delightful.Thank you dear Susan Williams.
This is such a wonderful and Romantic poem Bharti.. I really loved how you took the simple incidents of an evening and described them with vivid imagination to CREATE a fine poem.. The lines - 'The gentle breeze comes And knock at some doors It is ghost for some babies For some it is fairies' are at once a testemony to your ability to observe everyday details and put them through words.. There is a real sense of innocence about this poem which is very important when one writes verses that SOOTHES us... This poem does exactly that... If I compare this poem to a bedtime story I don't think I would to wrong.. Beautiful..
One by one! With the muse of the people of the land. Thanks for sharing.
