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
