Twilight

It was "Twilight"-

When sun set was about to hit the water-

The turtle rose up and sunk down deeper,

All swans turned towards shore,

It was the last light of day- twilight wanted to assure.

Birds sounded sad while were returning to nest,

as day intensely focused on to take rest.

Sky forced its mind to split into two parts-

One was hiding the sun, another one needed to see

the rest day focus.

It was "Twilight"-

A boy loosely tied a string with his finger-

It just hold a kite lighter-

No strength, no weight-

The boy tried to wipe dust and sweat-

He knew soon the string might break,

And the kite would float away with or without any trek.

It was "Twilight"-

The ship looked haggard and careworn,

As if it suddenly felt the sun was setting down.

The wheels were still in pace under deep water-

Water insides bubbled-

Crews could sense that they should reach the shore earlier,

The bell from the deck was jingled and jingled.

It was "Twilight,"

A booming sound came from the entire landscape,

The rolling terrain glistened purple-

Through the dark metal line-

A long running train was heading towards a shrine.

It was "Twilight,"

Mothers wanted to call back their child from day's final play,

By the time they looked back, a dark line seemed on the bay,

The darkness of evening coming down by nature's art,

Their nerves pulsing like a tiny orange heart.

It was "Twilight,"

The day tried to meet evening's eyes,

His head lolled against her chest,

His work was done since sun's rise.

Evening hugged day's waist-

She said, "Can you feel? my bond is too tight!"
