A Walk In the Dawn

He called my name I heard from my dream Jumping up from the bed Misplaced my sleep Five thirty am it was I carried his travelling bag. To the bus stop we aimed Forgetting the gate key delayed a little Within seconds we felt The blue dark dawn We walked fast, but i was ahead With our footsteps cripping behind us. Doors were closed The street was silent And two to four beings we bypassed It was a peaceful and jolly walk At some metres before the bustop I asked "Did the phone woke up?" "Yes the alaram woke me tahnks to it" I set the alarm We waited for taxis But they failed us He was forced to enter A rickety Danfo A bad way to start a twelve hours journey We exchange goodbyes I stayed till the Danfo faded Going home was involuntary My footsteps cripping behind me The road having infected my slippers And my feet and the road Had been linked with dust Echoes of a strong bark was heard It was repiled by a tried and exhaust one Metres away from home The call to prayer was recited And a lady was preaching prosperity Both microphones were fighting for reign They was later joined by a man preaching eternity The voice of the mosque was conquered As i entered my red gate I found my sleep
