Night Watchman

Pitch dark Zero luminescence Midnight appearing Slowly going inside Like a curtain closer Getting darker and darker- Beetles making Repeated chirps Much like a pattern follower Amidst measured delays- Chanting hymns From peculiar birds Seldom seen in days- Night in peak Sometimes even frightening Dark shadows Moving here and there Casted by trees and bushes- In the middle Of all these Strange happenings- Two eyes Almost protruding out Blinking here and there One turn right Another turn left Then staring straight- Seating in tree branches Observing all along What's happening around? Never stopping Basking under shades of moon Until Daylight appears Much like a curtain raiser!
