There Is Something About Dusk
A poem
There's something about dusk
Something about the way the sun and moon behave
Like two star crossed lovers
Who see each other briefly and once again separate
There’s something about the transition
As day changes into the night in a swift
Like two distant coworkers
Who meet each other from afar before taking over the shift
There’s something about the emerging stars
As they gather all around
Like an audience glistening with excitement
As they see the sun get defeated by the moon before being taken down
There’s something about the way the sky turns deep shades of pink
Like a blushing spectator
Who witnesses the darkness and light interlink
There’s something about the peace and quiet at dusk
As if time itself halts mesmerized by the twilight
Saying farewell to the day that has already passed
The world stands in anticipation of the approaching night
