Silent Night 🤫

Holiday Season: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 🎅🤶

By Madhu Goteti Published about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

Into the deep shadows of the silent nights,

Here again blooms that close-held sight

And as a JOY it’s still a present—for that affecttuoso —called I

Yes, those joys, unfurled and rendered ….

Over serpentine roads-lain across- so quiet,

Till one sees—what’s sought and then holds it tight

O, on and on goes this glaze over half-opened eyes

As awaited latent in forever’s disguise,

For that —TIME—subservient in whatever, it finally occupies !

Ah! Those joys that rejoice,

and to the many more from which all shall rise …

As though, springing from the consummation ,for those dreams, to come alive,

With one bit coming closer for the other to realize ..

Yeah , I hold it right 😊

O! Look!

A window opens strong possessed in life ,

A vista to be seen to rest, pause and reflect for a while;

Yes, allured to live in its moment, to regain and revive!

For bolted in veins, enchanted in beguiles, I feel totally mesmerized,

And though, it’s short lived and ‘just for a while,

And as to this world; e'er illusive; it plunges me upon those ever-wakeful smiles

O! Look! Over there!

It's a conception born to a naked mind's imaginative eyes,

Yet, as to the visible,

Illumining every nocturnal steed ; so dutifully occupied!

There, in those realms, a stillness resides,

With all shades of thoughts—

a bliss gets so allied

Though, all in heaps, holding out it's marching stride,

For those fondest moments; lending their worth, to be fully enjoyed!

Let’s capture this grace, as serenity seeks serendipity, fully occupied..

Yes, it all happens in the quiet of the night…

About the Creator

Madhu Goteti

The thrums in the strums and the delights in the humdrum of life have always fascinated me.

It’s that feast of reason and flow of soul; in all that I see and all that I shall behold!

I am an avid lover of art and philosophy!
