I take time to savor the sky twilight
A beautiful sight it is, I could not help but share
the beauty of the dusk, the mystic sight.
I see the mighty sun before me,
now, like a baby in it’s mother’s arms
slowly lulling into deep sleep
collecting all it’s golden charms.
The crescent moon behind me rests
the evident king in the crowd of smalls
It smiles at me and I smile back
and together we wait as the sun falls.
As the sun falls behind the horizon
I give it a fierce stare
I realize the enemy if attacked when weak
cannot do… but retreat to it’s lair.
The moon shimmers calm
the sun blesses with warmth
the sky is dynamic, changing colors fast
From pure magical white to dotted char.
I see the sun and recall the time gone by
I see the moon dream of coming days
but my thoughts fail to change
the way time sways.
Standing in the middle of tomorrow and today
I now realize a very important fact
I will be taken in times to come
no matter how much I liked my past.
And I shall have to follow it’s track
‘cause its time which has taken me so far
and made me understand that
like today, tomorrow too, shall pass.
Another tomorrow will again come
to which I’d say no again
‘cause I’d again be attached to my time
but I’d be dragged into the future, again.
Thinking this I learn an important lesson
that tomorrow, memories are what which only remain
and I’d collect each one of them, to live the present I love
and to cherish them, I’d live each one of them.
By living I do not mean just breathe through it
nor I ask you to be happy always
I just ask you to make life such
that you smile when you look back upon it.
You smile ‘cause you know you listened to your heart
and know you carry no burden of guilt
you just became one with the time which passed with you
and both, had a wonderful voyage, incomplete without the other.
You added to someone’s life
you gave a message to love
you preached nothing you didn’t practice
and you brought a smile to ones who had crying eyes.
You can’t make time follow your rules
so you have to be one with it
and saying that the sun goes down
giving it’s sky, to the moon.
