On this lonely bench I sit,
Underneath the starry sky,
With only my thoughts to keep me company,
As the night slowly passes by.
The moon shines bright above me,
Casting shadows all around,
As I put pen to paper,
And let my words unbound.
The silence of the night,
Is broken by the rustling leaves,
And the occasional sound of a passing car,
As I continue to weave.
My mind wanders far and wide,
As I try to capture the essence of life,
And put it all down on paper,
In the form of a poem, free from strife.
The night is my muse,
And this bench my sanctuary,
As I pour out my heart and soul,
In the form of a literary commentary.
And when the dawn breaks,
And the sun starts to rise,
I will leave this bench behind,
But my words will forever survive.
