this poem has a magical quality -in the choice of words in the metaphors: And my mind floats aimless Like a sail boat idle on the sea how does mind float? like an idle sail boat; there is a question and there is the answer. It is truly a lovely poem -you must have written this just when it was happening! I like the musical quality which makes it a pleasure to read. thanks for sharing!

Wowww. beautiful, beautiful. Night brings sounds that are not audible in the daytime. The sleepless nights would be unbearable would it not be for these chirpy fellows. A sensuous write that appeals to all our senses. A plus!

If the translation of ''thrush''given by the lexicon is right, i have to suppose that there may be a kind of thrush in India that whstles in nights too, dear lady.Is there? Beautiful is the whole scenary although it talks for scenes in the darkness of night!

WOW. A wonderful wonderful poem, Valsa. A great write. Beautiful imagery ' chirp of cicadas', 'staccato notes of the cricket' 'whistling thrush' 'beryl bird'.......... idyllic peace filled summer dream, culminating in: ....swallow me whole ............................................ To make me lose myself within myself One of the few wonderful poems I have read for some time past.

I liked the hide and seek part of it, life plays the same game so do the nature and every bit of relations. Lovely poem, night life and the dark part always fascinates me. Thanks for sharing.

To hear her pour out that celestial melody Staying at the far fringe of heaven To make me lose myself within myself And slosh my soul in mad ecstasy! Awesome narration of emotions and feelings in the concluding part of a beautifully envisioned poem. Thanks for sharing.
