Engrossed in a movie
And binging on junk food
Taking the worried mind
And a racing heart to sleep
I never knew the miracles of the night.
Chaotic dreams
In an overthinking psyche
Racing images
On a burdened heart
Always difficult to fathom
The surprises the night brings.
Quarantined and how!
Cooking, mopping, washing
And then cooking
Eleven hours of work screen time
While the night fairy
Presses on with a star studded heaven
Yet I gloriously fail
To notice these wonders
At a snail’s pace
I let go; discovering
Peace in mundane
And joy in nothingness
With a flowing mane
In the gentle breeze
Of this miraculous night
While my olfactory senses
Revel in the clean air
Redolent with the fragrance
Of jasmine
Leaving an unpleasant present
Wishing for a joyful tomorrow
I finally relax
In the miracle of the night
