Nature's Harmony

The sun set upon the hill Leaving meadows in the shade Trees lost their colour bright As also waters of the lake. Flowers too drooped their heads While silent waters lay still, No shimmering on the surface While blazed the setting hill. People now came out to walk And some to taverns filled, Children returned home from school While elders in the sunset thrilled. Froth in the crystal glasses Twinkling like the stars, Down the hatch gurgled streamed With winking tail-light of cars. The leaves and flowers drank the dew Poured from heaven above Mothers prepared meals for night For children whom they loved. Darkness soon overtook the light With stars in the sky, Sleep is heavy on the lids With grandma’s lullaby. Creeping into darkness; hours Rolled limberly by, Soon darkness will be filled With sunrise in the sky.
