Dawn and Dusk
When the sun knocks on the horizon, you race to open the door
Oh! And when he is tired and wants to rest, I slowly swing it shut
Ready in light orange hues, gracefully you appear
Attired in splendid purple and pink I mysteriously disappear
Chanting of mantras and chiming of bells, warmly welcomes you
The twittering of homeward bound birds bids me goodbye
The promise of new hopes and beginnings each day gladly awakens you
With the weight of tasks unfinished and dreams unfulfilled each night I sleep
Your peaceful and calm aura compels souls to meditate and pray
Hustle and bustle surrounds me, with people rushing to finish their work
Fresh bright faces greet you each morning with joy and reverence
Tired faces running behind deadlines sadly acknowledge me as yet another day gets over
Though we’ll never meet, with nature’s assigned duties we’ll persist
Between dawn and dusk we’ll give mankind a chance for their lives to remake.
