There is Music in the Night

Nights always arrive with a depth. An aura which becomes visible only when you walk with the darkness, hand in hand.

Night is a story in itself. A destiny which unfolds. A life within life.

In such depth there is so much to understand and hear. 

Darkness presents itself in rhythms. 

There is a strange sort of divine music sung by the night. 

As the sun sets and dusk breaks, the hues of earth's layer begin to change. Enveloping in darkness. A deep one.

As time passes, these hues yearn to be unfolded.

The tunes yearn to to be played.

Music is a divine thing. And silence is sacred. When music and silence combine, you are bestowed with the gift of night. 

There are innumerable mysteries waiting to be solved. So many questions waiting to be answered. So many turmoils waiting to be detangled. The chaos waiting to subside. 

Every such feeling awaits the calmness and songs of the dusk. 

"As I stand facing the dark

Chaos unclogs slowly

In the stillness of night

I bare my self and soul

Creatures hide in depths

An owl with a bright eye

Whisperings of nothing

Silence speaks slowly

Listening to the music

Rhythms joyful and tragic

Aura and mysterious voices

Night leaps ahead and afar

Voices of my soul speak

To fears crept in 

and uncertainties swinging

Giving me respite, solace

Soon night hurries up

Entwining destiny's games

Preparing for a new day

I am left dumbstruck

I wish to say to the songs

Don't leave so early

Leaving me confused

In the hands of a cruel day

Stubborn it is,listens never

Dawn begins to fall

Tired I lay in a slumber

Dreaming of another night".

For majority of the world, the rising sun brings in positive energy and hopefulness. 

They feel that after the dark times there is a brighter and new day to look forward to. 

However night lovers prefer to differ. 

For those who adore and admire night, the beginning of dawn seems a cruel sight.

They feel that the sun rise has crushed their dreams with the brightness of reality. 

The real world which is rude and emotionless. 

The real world which is shallow and selfish. 

The very thought of parting with the night and its music is painful to them, every single morning. 

That is why, they make an effort to be with it as much as they can because once sleep seeps in, night will slowly creep out.

The profoundness and calm of a night is indeed addictive. 

Once your soul gets used to the music and divinity of the night, your heart will compel you to stay awake even though the world peacefully dreams away.

If at times you are not able to do it, your heart will ache for it like lovers in distance ache for each other. And your soul will yearn for it like the souls yearns for his beloved soulmate. 

Such is the power of night. Its music. Its silence. Its calm. Its depth. Its aura.

Musically yours!

'Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent'. -Victor Hugo

Very few things in the world are capable of producing a universal impact on us. 

Music has always been accepted as the universal language by the whole world. And indeed it is. 

Just like the acts of kindness or compassion, which are universally regarded as the same, be it North or South, East or West. Similarly music is also considered as a language sung all through mankind.

It has been such since time immemorial and would be so till the end of the world. 

Time has divided and given it various names but the purpose of music is still the same, which is to create love and harmony amongst all.

To admire the power of music, one need not necessarily be a die hard music lover, I am not one at least. 

As it is for poetry, there are people who are not poetry lovers or read or write poetry regularly but none can deny the power of rhymes and the impact it has on the world since time immemorial. 

Similarly for music too. 

One may not be very passionate for music but somewhere he knows that it does possess the power to captivate hearts and bind souls.

It is however ironical and extremely heart breaking to see people fighting over what kind of music is the best or playing what musical instrument is the most 'in' thing to do. 

What fools us mortals be, really! 

I mean how can you judge a language so universal in such shallow ways? No matter if it be Jazz or Metal or Folk, the rhythms are all inherently powerful. Your taste might differ but that won't make any of it lesser liked or worst still 'disliked'. 

Music does not need judgements, let alone the parameters to be judged. 

It just needs an open heart, a soul to understand its depth and learn that even wordless means of communication can be so impacting and so resonating with the human intellect. 

As Aldous Huxley puts rightly in his work music at night and other essays "after silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music''. 

Indeed, nothing can surpass the loudness, depth and lucidity of silence but after silence no words can give such depth to emotions and thoughts as music can.

So whenever you feel low or alone, with not a soul to talk to or you are sad with a feeling that no one seems to understand you, remember that there exists a form of communication which is common to the entire world and with which you can always connect to each and every soul for it synchronises yours as well as their beats. 

Just learn to dive in the depth of rhythm and dance to the uniqueness of your soul. Music will never let you feel down or disheartened or alone, for the tunes shall say what your heart aches to hear. 

Hear it closely, once or a million times. 

Let it reach your insides and then you will be fit to move on again. 

There will be strength and happiness inside. 

This world may not know you and you may not identify with them but the strings of music tie us all to a wonderfully vivid and unbreakable bond.

The whole world is musically yours!
