Night

Night - Joel Yap
The Sun is asleep, my soul is at peace;
A blanket covers the sky, my spirit delights.
Swiftly the winds blow, painfully my heart groans;
Gently the crickets sing, quietly my eyes bleed.
The diamonds above sparkle to calm me down,
for they have seen my body suffer since dawn.
Though hidden in cruel daylight, they were there,
And same goes to angels, who silently watch over man.
Darkness, my closest friend, marks an end of another day,
I love the Night! For it signifies, a hope for quietness and rest.

Inspired by Psalm 88:18, this was written at NS, I have never written poems before so please do not laugh at the quality of this one.

NS is torturing, the days are filled with boring and tiring activities. So I like the nights, because we don't have much to do at night. The beautiful stars accompany me and I feel so much better everytime after looking at them.
