By the time we overcome the adversities of life, it is almost over...
Twilight Blues
Evening melts into the nightYellow gold of the setting sun
Shrinks into an orange ball
Hangs against the purple sky
Bids farewell to the gloomy day
Plunges into the dun of Night…
flash back
Dawn of hope
With youth of Time
Rises high into the sky
Birds of bright pretty plumes
Soar in the glory of the morn...
Pelting hot sun scorches wings
Deserts hot stand in the way
Thirst like a demon chokes
Parched lips longing speech
Life trudges on, dreary and bleak…
At long last
Hot sands traversed
Mountains scaled
Valley of grief left behind
Again, the sun shines
Spreading golden-scarlet hues
Beauty in age enshrined.
But, the lease of life is expiring
Time is nigh
Sinks
Into the oblivion of
Ink-black night…
Twilight of life…
