The Countdown-4 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

THE COUNTDOWN-4

When the sun goes down
Your shadow leaves you
Leaves you all that you lived with
The glow and glint, glaze and glitter
You fancied over the year

When the sun goes down
Darkness descends
What remains is
A lonely man's lone walk
In a solitary lane

When the sun goes down
Goes down your will and zeal to fight
The drive and passion to compete
Life fades into a colourless plight
And you into a big nothing

When the sun goes down
Goes down your ability
To fall in love with yourself
Fall in love with Life,
Its fragrance, elegance and beauty
The Garden of Eden turns into a wasteland
And you an unwanted showpiece
