Oh beautiful Night! How comforting you are! How nurturing you are! Yet the world has treated you with cruelty.
People have always thought you bring discomfort, distress and discouragement to the soul and many quotes were made saying something like this: “The darkness will pass and the sun will shine bright, giving you a new strength, a new hope.”
But do you know I have found out that you are misunderstood? They have not known you and their insufficient mind brought out the reflection of their own perception rather than the truth. Yes, I have seen you from a different perception. Perhaps it was the music carrying away the disillusionment and revealing the true beauty of you.
I understand that the day has its own importance and it gives a person the zeal to do something, a hope to hold on and the courage to keep going. But you are the one who gives comfort, who gives peace, who shows the beauty of the silence.
At day we do our work but it’s only at night when we ponder upon the endless mysteries of the life, the good and the bad that exist in the world. My mind is thoughtful mostly at night as there is no one to disturb me and I can finally listen to the voice of my soul that was suppressed for whole of the day by the sound of the world.
You are not negative but you are the one who completes the circle, the Yin for Yang. You are the one who shows the beauty of the sky by revealing the millions of stars and the moon and it is because of you that they are beautiful. If we go fulfill our dreams in the morning, it is you, oh dear Night; who gives us dreams. You give the rest to the tired soul and dreams to everyone.
The beauty of my music too is increased hundredth folds at Night. My pen and paper give me pleasure at night only when I jot down the things that happened during the day.
You are a teacher as you give us the time to ponder upon the actions of our day and take good out of it leaving the bad behind. For a thinker you are a treasure that surpasses every other treasure that a man seeks.
If people do some bad things in the darkness, it is not your fault for they have already sinned in their thoughts and the action is just the manifestation of the sin they have already committed in their minds.
For me you are a friend, a teacher, a comforter, a dream provider, and much more than many other beautiful things.
You do not bring fear as I have never feared in the night. It is a man’s own inner fear which might be manifested at night. The same way you do not bring the sin and you do not destroy the hope. It is just that people discover their inner beings mostly at night.
I wish the world could see your beauty and know how comforting you are!
