My Times Of The Day Poem by Shankaran Kutty

When my eyes open after a good night’s sleep
I like to see the break of dawn
Sit so lazily against the bed
A cup of tea, and my sleep is gone
The streaming rays of the waking sun
Signals to me my rest is done

Most active am I when it is mid day
With the early work at office done
It is time for a tea with friends at ten
Time to unwind and a little fun
Then I am charged for a full day’s work
To handle the tensions that at office, lurk

I hardly realize when it is noon
When sun is blazing right up in the sky
It is time for lunch and a little rest
To catch a few winks on the sly
Half the day at office done
But battles remain that are to be won

As the sun slips across the sky
And scatters crimson on the west
The energy saps and I pull along
At work, the day is way past the best
I gather my friends for tea and chatter
A little fun, a lot of banter

Even thought my body is done
I like the time of dusk, just after sunset
For I am home, with my wife and kids
I play with them or surf the net
To play with the kids, or sometimes teach
Put them to bed after a kiss to each

It is time for me to finally unwind
As the moon climbs into the night sky
Watch the stars twinkle, feel the night breeze
Or in pensive thoughts I simply lie
Watch my wife sleep in the moonlight gleam
It is time for me to sleep, to weave my dream
