Daylight

So when you look at the night sky,
Its serene black beckons out to you.
You wish you had wings,
And long to fly-
Touching its mystique velvet.
You imagine breathing in the purity
Of the silvery moonshine-
Letting it soak and seep into you.
The light helps to give you the warmth-
That you need-
When all is cold-
And all hopes are sold.
Stars twinkle along their magical spokes-
Piercing the dark with their smiles.
You long to touch the jagged edges-
And see the blood pour.
A sign of life-
Much awaited.
You feel old-
As youth's innocence falls away-
Slowly, leaving the lines sharper,
And the dry skin luminescent.
You trace patterns,
Along the blue veins that show up stark-
Waiting for the burst,
As you pierce the ends.
Absence or presence,
Do little to negate-
The mercurial thoughts,
That pile up as bile.
You think about the meaningless endlessness of it all.
Feeling empty,
You drain the bottle empty too.
Hoping that it would enable you to,
Lose your mind.
You think deeply about-
What all is there to leave behind-
Except some scattered footsteps,
In their aimless sojourn?
You sigh,
Longingly-
And then hush it all -
The inner voices as they converse secretly.
You let your soul go numb-
As the void settles in deep.
To see or not to see,
Must supersede to be or not to be.
You miss the effigy so dear,
But you know you must let go-
Of what's not yours,
Nor shall ever be.
As paths are divergent,
And so are the ways of mind.
You cannot hold onto something,
That refuses your ownership.
Let go and set it free-
Let the other soul fly high,
In its journey towards its own light.
With you,
It's just a shared space in darkness-
Abstract and absolute in its
Warpath of shunning the sun.
Away- it must shine brighter,
As its destiny becomes clearer-
By the daylight.
You let go,
Watch it make its way home-
Smile with all the tenderness of truth-
And wish it well in life.
