Sleeping Under The Stars, In Jaisalmer | Poem | Bookosmia
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, I spent the night sleeping under the beautiful night sky, when on a trip to Jaisalmer. 14 year old Saanvi Daga from Kolkata describes how she was in awe of the beauty of the sky at night. She is a student of Sushila Birla Girls’ School.
Glassy dome of sky above me
Fades into darker hues of blue
And in this great veil of darkness
Like scattered moondust in the sky
Were a thousand dazzling stars
And like molten golden diamonds
As if made from heavenly fire
Spectacle of godly beauty
Above me on this lonely night
Were thousand stars looking over me
The deafening silence of night
Brought me peace and tranquillity
A gush of the cold desert wind,
Make me pull over my blankets
My mind forgetting all worries
My eyes grow tired and heavy
And in the calm serenity
As sweet sleep overcame me
And that calming placidity
Was my respite from this insanity
