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.
