Mysterious Tower

Mysterious Tower

                         From top of a tower I am watching Sun about to set
                      Western sky is ready to display twilight at best
                            Spectacular color patterns started to display
                        by reflected, refracted and diffracted Sun ray.
                            Leaning on the railing
                        I am also observing
                      turbulent sea waves whirling, rolling
                          and thrashing on the sandy shore
                Sun has descended the horizon
                I am whispering an orison
                 to God of Ocean
                                     Charming twilight got saturated in dark
                                      Sun rays left no single spark

                                   All the viewers are getting down
                                 I am the loner at night of No Moon.
                       I felt, now I am to leave the tower.
                       Already it is too late hour.
                   When I climbed, i counted the steps as hundred.
                   I started counting steps again as I am to descend.

                   One, two,..........twenty- four .....fifty -nine, sixty
                   Sixty-one......seventy-three......eighty-nine, ninety
                   ninety-one.......hundred, hundred-one...........two hundred
                   two hundred and one........five hundred........ No end.
                         I am descending and counting, counting and descending,
                         I am going down and down, steps are going down unending.
