The hour of Cow-dust

.
.
                             Go-Dhuli-Bela
                       A poignant poetic time
                    As the sun hits the horizon
                   Is the time when cows return
                  After grazing hours work done
                  On dusty tracks raising a cloud 
                   Off hooves   of returning cows                      Now the
                    Crimson   and  Light Ochre                      Day is waning
                       Family   Trots    Lazily                          Moon is awake
                         Lifting   the  Sun       In a cloud          Crimson  haze
                           Hour   is   Low     The sunset slows    Night  awaits
                            Time  hangs    Suspended is night       On  Track
                             Bells tinkle    Drum beats of hooves    as herd
                              Go - Dhuli    the dust off cow hoof       Trots
                              Bela is time   Hour, time to return        Back
   As the cows return on dusty tracks, lifting the Sun, in a dusky haze                                                                                                             
                                                                           Suspended is time
                      It is the hour ;
                                              Of Cow Dust:
                                                              Go-Dhuli-Bela
