Poem about the Night – Everything Falls Quiet at Night | Poeticando

Everything Falls Quiet at Night

Multilingual poetry

Can one sleep, without truly sleeping?
A question that invites reflection, and the search for genuine answers.
Perhaps through practical experimentation.
A difficult achievement? Yes — but difficult doesn’t mean impossible.
And the impossible?
Perhaps… it doesn’t exist.

Everything Falls Quiet at Night…

Everything falls quiet at night…
Even the chaotic city
lies in a deep sleep.
Only thoughts
are free to float
through the surrounding ether,
carrying sleeping humanity
on a drifting course,
as it keeps on dreaming
unmoved.
Who knows when
it will awaken from that oblivion,
and though the body may rest
to recharge its strength,
will it be awake and aware
even when
everyone sleeps?
Everything falls quiet at night…
