The sun looked down
parting the clouds of darkness
hiding himself but eager to see
the life on earth in his absence.
Amazed was he, spellbound
at the life of the dark- sun forsaken times.
The hustle and bustle at the market place;
the flower girl selling herself;
the young men out to romp.
One little child he thought he saw
sneaking into the kitchen cellar
befriending darkness
searching a bite of his favourite cake.
In one corner, he saw that night
the land decked up with lamps
and the noise that the crackers made
made him wish to quickly retreat.
While most of the animal world slept
man was greatly at large
a threat to himself and the rest
a blessing turned into a living curse.
Chuckling to himself
he chided his poor soul
for it s folly of wilfully believing
that he was the be all and end all of life.
