The Night-Watcher

The night-watcher;
Friend to all but himself lonely.
I see him, but he is afraid.
I can’t reach him.
Nor he can come to me for shelter.

But we stare at each other.
Slowly and calmly the white night-watcher covers;
He covers himself with a blanket of shadow.

I pray with all my faith.
I pray with all my heart.
I pray for the night-watcher not to perish.

I never moved my eyes from the ongoing war.
Where I couldn’t even move my hand for help.
An army of came for the night-watcher.

The army of clouds covered the sky.
I know not,what to pray.
The army cried and the Earth was wet.

But i waited with hope.
And my hope came.
The clouds vanished gradually.

There I saw my night-watcher again with all its glow.
