Night Falls Across The Lands Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

The sky is rimmed with crimson
Glow as evening falls with all its glory
And a peeping star at the corner of a
Hill comes up for its nocturnal journey

Evening lamps are lit at the doors
To welcome the night and the moon
A soft breeze flows from the river and
Trees begin to sing and gently swoon

Night comes stealthily like a dream
Silence reigns thick across the lands
Tired farmers sleep in peace folding
Across chests their calloused hands
