Soliloquy by Ranjit Sahu

The homeless man stares

Into the expanse of the night sky

Stars are born and break like wishes 

That twinkle on  cloudless  nights

Being alive is a celebration 

The seasons become irrelevant

The silence overpowers the darkness

And bottled up emotions surge

The restrictions on thoughts break

And the mind freely wanders, carefree

What if a world worries 

What if a world worries not?

The tidings of the time

The tiring trials of the day

Where do these vanish exactly

When the city falls asleep

Leaving a lonely soul

Searching for its identity among millions

Abandoning the cautions of norms

Letting go the inhibitions 

Brushing  aside the consequences 

Of unsolicited exhibitions

In the wee hours of the night

Arriving autumn awakens dormant soliloquy
