The dark night stepped out
of the gate of dusk
desirous of a glimpse
of the bright sun light
a lot it had heard about...
Wandered high
in search of rays
all over the sky;
unable to find
tired and spent
wanting a respite,
sat at the gate of dawn
fell snoring asleep...
On hearing the breathe
the sunlight showed up
at the soft water edge
from beneath the earth
sporting a smile on face
orange, soon to turn brighter
broader silvery in shade...
The night wouldn’t wake up
soon from snoring ignorance
for another cyclic hours
twelve to be precise;
the hide out of the bright
sun light thus,
my grandma said,
remained mysterious
ever to dark sleeping minds...
