In the midst of Twilight hush,
Dawn stood waiting to part with dusk;
Reluctant though it seemed quite clear,
Witness was the starry sheer.
Low on energy, lost your way ?
You look so weary, I dare say !
Dusk was concerned for her old chum
Dawn looked at her ; his face glum.
I have lost all hope , I see no light,
For humans have pledged to fight.
They fight for flesh ; all virtues lost,
Not to mention living ghosts.
You are best suited for such dismal times,
They sleep while you conceal their crimes,
My seething has now reached its height,
They have no resentment nor any fright.
What with hatred and fighting?
And the grudge of friend on friend?
They have all failed to recognise,
That this shall come to an end.
I am despised and scornful
For they take my light unrewarded
They’ve left behind decency
They’ve left behind truth.
Is this the end of this jubilant creed ?
For all that is left is spite and greed ?
Dusk — who was listening to Dawn all the while,
Began to speak in a misty style;
What about those who have been waiting all night ;
Hoping to get your bright and warm sight?
Dusk beamed at Dawn,
And smilingly she said
I loose my identity to see you rise
You tend to forget that in your despise,
Giving up shall never be an option
The light-globe shall never stop spreading its affection.
You bring them Hope that shall never cease;
There are still millions who contribute towards establishing peace.
Dear friend, changes do take some time
Don’t drown your spirits over this little strife,
For many our earthlings below
Have their conscience perfectly alive.
So, go and enshrine every good being
With awakening and I assure you of a new beginning.
Dawn fell silent and solemn ;
Realising his worth by degrees.
Something struck him deep within;
Filling up his soul with mirth.
He found his heart emblazoned against the cold;
AND A FIERCE NEW SUN
DAZZLED THE SKIES!
