Pink Twilight Poem by lalitha iyer

Seen ever the pink twilight
in the eyes of the mangoose?
they are nature's pink twilights
they will vanish soon
the epitomes of love, desire and affection
have you ever watched them move
have you ever observed how they behave
come, sit, watch with me
Hush, dont make any sound or gesture
they are very sharp and alert
they can smell you long distant
see you from lands apart
they are keen and defensive
very very immediate in their reactions
they bristle up and defend fast
they love and cuddle too with ease
their motherly care is beyond measure
they court with carefree plays
they are a breed to enjoy
they are life in essence
pure life exudes in their traits
its a beauty, untainted, virgin exhibits
of true reason why life has originated and exist.

The tiny squirrel,
that jumps up and down
makes home like you
collects food like you
wards off enemical cats
prevents babies from eating monsters
with sharp black wisdomic looks
the miniature laboratory
with every creative cycle within
the beauty of life seeded in
They are pink twilights of nature
unless we learn to love them, they may perish
the school of biology and medicine they are
unless we preserve them they may vanish.
