“প্রত�� পূর্ণিমা�� মধ্যরাতে একবা�� আকাশের দিকে তাকা��
গৃহত্যাগী হবার মত জোছন�� কি উঠেছ�� ?
বালিকা ভুলানো জোছন�� নয়��
যে জোছনায় বালিকারা ছাদে�� রেলি�� ধর�� ছুটাছুটি করতে করতে বলবে ��
�� মাগো, কি সুন্দর চাঁদ ��
নব দম্পত্তি�� জোছনাও নয় ��
যে জোছন�� দেখে স্বামী গা�� স্বর�� স্ত্রীকে বলবে�� ��
দেখো দেখো নীতু, চাঁদটা তোমা�� মুখে�� মত�� সুন্দর ��
কাজল�� দিদি�� স্যাঁতস্যাতে জোছন�� নয় ��
যে জোছন�� বাসি স্মৃতিপূর্�� ডাষ্টবিন উল্ট�� দে�� আকাশ�� ��
কবির জোছন�� নয় �� যে জোছন�� দেখে কবির�� বলবে�� ��
কি আশ্চর্�� রূপা�� থালা�� মত চাঁদ ��
আম�� সিদ্ধার্থে�� মত গৃহত্যাগী জোছনার জন্য বস�� আছ�� ��
যে জোছন�� দেখা মাত্�� গৃহে�� সমস্�� দরজা খুলে যাবে ��
ঘরের ভেতর ঢুকে পড়বে বিস্তৃ�� প্রান্তর ��
প্রান্তর�� হাঁট��, হাঁট�� আর হাঁট�� ��
পূর্ণিমা�� চাঁদ স্থি�� হয়�� থাকব�� মধ্য আকাশ�� ��
চারদিক থেকে বিবি�� কন্ঠ ডাকব�� �� আয় আয় আয় ��”

hope fades with the waning light.
Evil lurks at every turn as shadows waltz
across the ebony night.
Behold the midnight hour
where all of reason takes flight.”

“Midnight! the outpost of advancing day!
The frontier town and citadel of night!
The watershed of Time, from which the streams
Of Yesterday and To-morrow take their way,
One to the land of promise and of light,
One to the land of darkness and of dreams!”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Complete Poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Let's just enjoy it for ourselves. Dawn is such a private hour, don't you think? Such a solitary hour. One always hears that said of midnight, but I think of midnight as remarkably companionable—everyone together, sleeping in the dark.'

'I am afraid I am interrupting your solitude,' Anna said.

'No, no,' the boy said. 'Oh, no. Solitude is best enjoyed in company.' He grinned at her, quickly, and Anna smiled back. 'Especially the company of one other soul,' he added, turning back to the sea. 'It's dreadful to feel alone and really be alone. But I love to enjoy the feeling when I'm not.”
― Eleanor Catton, The Luminaries

“All human beings desire to be in a better space and a better place. We all want a peaceful and prosperous life for ourselves and our families. When you don't manage your emotions in high stress, high-pressure situations, you get the opposite of what you want. The domino affect impacts how you live, eat and provide for your family. Is it worth it? Never. Control your emotions. Manage your choices. Your life is depending on it.”

“It waited for her. Standing resolute in the moonlight, it had stood for a hundred years. Yet it waited just for her. Shadows passed across the moon, a cool breeze ruffled the leaves around it.

― Grace Willows, Don't Look Back: And Other Stories of the Paranormal
