Akshay Agarwal Part time poet, In a velvet hush, when the world's asleep Darkness rises and I become unseen No one to watch, No no one to hear Just silent air and me in between I get a gentle solitude Where thoughts are free No deadlines or expectations Just a breeze from calmness's sea The world erodes away There's blackness and No light I leave the weight of the day behind And find in darkness, a soft respite
