This week, SHINE welcomes emerging poet, Shilpa Chakrabarti, who brings us her poem, "The Night Beckons Me." Thank you, Shilpa, for sharing your words, and best wishes on your continued poetic journey! The Night Beckons Me Thoughts, brimming with the memories of bygones Creep silently to raise an emotional turmoil - The solitude of the night, then, beckons me To vent out my lonesomeness, wrapping me in its dark foil. Into a tormented mood and baffled mind This loneliness would have left me; But, the softness of nocturnal zephyr dries my tears, And the sky magnanimously shares its vastness with me. How will I return night’s selfless favours? They rekindle in me, a zeal to walk towards light. Never expected hope to reach me Amidst the gloomy darkness of the night!! Thoughts soaked in depressing bygones Intend to drag me into emotional turmoil, I see. The dark night beckons me, to absorb my pain; With positive vibes, towards bright light, it pushes me. ![]() Dr. Shilpa Chakrabarti was a medical writer for a couple of years before she took to freelance content creation. She has worked for several publication houses, in preparing book chapters, questionnaires, and study materials. She has written blogs and articles on various topics related to health and education. Of late, writing poems has become her leisure pleasure. This is just the beginning of her spiritual journey, and she hopes to walk more in search of solace through poetry. Comments are closed.
