Evening and Night

EVENING

Evening slipped out of the cave
Crossed the rock wall
And buried the city in soft kisses
Sun god‘s dripping soup
Gave her child a sunset glow
She went back to her cave
To sleep, to grow

NIGHT
Night birds on the prowl
Growl of dark panther
Unsteady footfalls of ghosts
Silhouetted trees
Cacophony of fledglings 
Snakes ripe with venoms
Green eyed owl preening feathers
Deep in jungles fairies play
Near a lake moon sneaks in
Embers of childhood
Smoldering in deep.

There are so many things that go unseen in the dark. Some should be feared, some not... This is very interesting and enjoyable work, Rajat. Well done!

Oh my, this is so lovely, giving the evening, and the night the sense of life itself, unfolding. So beautifully written !!

Rajat My Great Friend . . . I like this one immensely. The imagery and contrast you paint here between EVENING and NIGHT is so powerful and telling in every respect. A most deserved "7" from me and this one's in my FAV file too. Best Wishes from me and Ingrid to you and your family!! Merry Christmas!! Gary
