Moonlit Jasmine

Through the night, a traffic light's soft gleam,
The city sleeps in hushed, tender dreams.
I return where youth took flight,
Jasmine's whisper in the moonlit night.

Rain and I move slow, in harmony's tune,
Through the garden where my past gently blooms.
On the bench, I pause, breathe deep and slow,
Childhood's murmurs, softly ebb and flow.

Beneath the night's embrace, where dreams arise,
In shadowed hush under the silver skies...

I'll stay until the first light's gentle grace,
As life returns, finding its place.
I'll meet it steady, heart renewed,
Guided by jasmine's sweetest mood.

Once more along the night's familiar lane,
A dreaming city bathed in silver rain.
Farewell, my quiet, verdant scene,
Where jasmine cradles what's truly been.

My haven small, the rain's soft melody,
Jasmine dancing in the moon's gentle decree...
You've led me back to where I truly belong,
In every breath, a childhood's sweet song.

In this stillness, where dreams and shadows entwine,
Time loops back, offering solace divine.
Rain's gentle rhythm, the bench, the trees,
Carrying me through the night's soft, soothing breeze.

Here I stand, in the night's warm cradle, still,
Nostalgia's balm, a peace so gentle, mild.
Farewell, old yard, in moon-kissed light,
Jasmine's scent keeps my spirit bright.
