Sanctuary
The marvel, the all-knower make days the
Sanctuary for all who live,day within days:
Twenty four periods during which the earth total
Rotation on it axis,days arrive like crows in the field
Of stubble corn,in days we born,in days we cry
And laugh,in days we sucked our mother's breast
In days we sleep and wake,in days we grow
In days we do our dally activities,in days we get
Married,in days we gave birth to our infant baby
In days we acquire our needs
In days we count time,day,week,month and year
Days dropped away like honey of a spoon
Days follow one another in an undistinguished
Series, growing and then fade like leave on the tree
In days we gone
Our days run as fast a way as does the rain
Coming from the sky
Days were truly endless and seemed like
A single black night.
