Glorious Twilight

GLORIOUS TWILIGHT


G reat escape from the mundane, humdrum affairs 
L ying on the sea-shore savoring pleasant twilight 
O pium to the eyes, more it craves to witness this delight 
R ecedes the Golden globe behind the horizon out of sight
I nstilling a fresh hope that there will be a new rise soon 
O ptimism that as dark phase fades, it heralds a new boon    
U ndeterred to face challenges, this is a preparatory phase
S plendiferous message to stay brave, to act and not laze 

T hreshold between life’s dawn and dusk it depicts
W aves the gentle sea breeze to the retreating birds 
I nviting them the next morning to play new games 
L eaving to the night to swallow the pent-up feel 
I nvoking peace in mind that rejuvenates our souls 
G leam of yellow, crimson and scarlet red as they scatter
H arbinger of healing touch and love it will usher in    
T o each one who after every fall learns to get up and win!
