Twilight

This is one of my own poems which i wrote in 2003.One of my favourites too!!


The waning sunlight in the horizon
Sets stage for a perfect showdown,
Its dusk-time for skies to kiss goodbye
to the reigning sun,
Time for the chirping birds for re-union.

The scene is picturesque;
Seems as though the sky were a canvas
Painted on which in hues of azure and yellow
Are the colors of nature stil mellow.

The universe appears flawless;unblemished
The mystery further mystifies,the sky turns bleak,sluggish,
The day is fading,cool wind whirls past
Just for a moment the harmony lasts
Slowly the world around settles down to stillness,
The earth now wears a shadow of darkness..

Mind wanders for a while,emotions glean..
Slowly stars will start to gleam..
Sky will again be lit-this time by stars bright
Behold!!its a union between eve and night-its Twilight!!
