Another dawn just slipped by………………

There are dawns and then there are dusks and in between them we live a "jouney called life"(okie hope i dont have to pay royalty to chevrolet for that!)...right so this journey is travelled by around 6.5 billion people and each has his own pace to go at it....so an ode to all the travellers on the blue planet.....to those who reach their destinations and to those who dont!


Another dawn just slipped by……………


As the sun pecked the face of the earth
And rose on its heels to touch the sky
As its rays enveloped the land in its girth
She stood in complete surrender meek n’ shy
those on the earth shall celebrate the warmth of the day with mirth
As another dawn just slipped by…………

O’er the horizons of their dreams they stood
To live each dream in the lanes of the time
To etch the lines of their future they would
Let the events of past sublime
Setting the mind free soaring high
To hold the dawn that just slipped by

Yet every dusk along with it shall sweep
Endless chase of dreams benign
Panting up their ways so steep
When predestination shall force them to resign
Stargazers‘d be gazing up at skies
Content to let every dawn just slip by

Yet the historic travails have seen
Them who through vicissitudes of life
Have beckoned the elements to bestow darkness a sheen
who scaled higher with every strife
Dreamers who made their dreams to spy
To let not any dawn “just” slip by………

As usual, a brilliant piece of work. I've run out of superlatives in my limited vocabulary that befit these works. Just keep it up! :-)
