Dawn and Dusk

Munira Dalal posted under PenMuse-49 Poetry on 2023-02-12



When the sun knocks on the horizon, you race to open the door Oh! And when he is tired and wants to rest, I slowly swing it shut Ready in light orange hues, gracefully you appear Attired in splendid purple and pink I mysteriously disappear Chanting of mantras and chiming of bells, warmly welcomes you The twittering of homeward bound birds bids me goodbye The promise of new hopes and beginnings each day gladly awakens you  With the weight of tasks unfinished and dreams unfulfilled each night I sleep Your peaceful and calm aura compels souls to meditate and pray Hustle and bustle surrounds me, with people rushing to finish their work Fresh bright faces greet you each morning with joy and reverence Tired faces running behind deadlines sadly acknowledge me as yet another day gets over Though we’ll never meet, with nature’s assigned duties we’ll persist Between dawn and dusk we’ll give mankind a chance for their lives to remake.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
