False Alarm

False alarm during the darkest time of the night

Dreams fluttered like the caged birds waiting to freed

Such anomalies strike at the soul of the consciousness

Drowsy visions scan the room like a traveller lost

Trudging through the endless swirls of irregular paths

Is that really you? A sudden curiosity creeps in

The voice does not speak the usual language

Loud cries of the alarms triggered by night spirits

Probably, the Sun too will wait for this to pass
