Like Dusk's Montage
Fragments of dusk, like a montage
The pagoda of trees
Nocturnal smiles and whispering;
Are caught up in the breeze.
Then a young star rises above
Her fingers warmly crown…
Dusk breaking nightfall, glints the air
While a city slows down.

Yet, fireflies rustle through the leaves
And naughty kids tiptoe
On slivers of shimmering grass,
Across the garden’s row.
Crickets trail into a backyard
Frogs moan a husky tune…
Where cats appear on rooftop walls
To serenade the moon.
Soon all these vignettes of the dark
Lay out a homey nest,
To gather strength for morn’s promise
Unfolding at her best.
