Auction

Yesterday night I finally decided to auction.
With arms wide open
Under the moonlight, I welcomed
Everyone who were there
staying awake, like me.
Who have renounced their sleep,
So that other can sleep,
Cuddling their beloved ones.

Yesterday was a windy night.
I have asked for the winds,
To come from Sahara.
I have asked all the dead stars
To put their soft hands on me.
Everyone who were once there,
Walked with me, talked with me
I have asked their shadows to appear.

With bunch of pages in hand
I have asked each of them
Whatever I have written till date
Hopes, desires, dreams
All that I have lived
Nurtured, cherished
Are there in these pieces of paper.
Evaluate them and if they are useful
Take them away -
In return, give me sleep
Endless sleep!
