As the twilight spreads
A deep orange shade over grey skies
Eyes deep lined in kohl
Rain tears on cold earth
And men run helter skelter
In desperate search for shelter;
The dogs laugh and raise howls
Together in a derisive laugh
With them, I too, laugh.
My life rises through me
That dances with the patter of raindrops
Caroused by the cold wind
Cajoled by sonorous thunder,
I watch the dance.
Suddenly the curtains are drawn,
The stage grows dark
Darker than the darkest dark
Light seems but a faint shadow
And yet, in this crude darkness
The breeze sings a new song;
A song of dreams, of hope
That the morning is not long
But till then- sing, dance, rejoice.
The clouds clap in joy
And light bursts forth
Like a white dragon
From the black sky
White from tail to the eye,
As it came so it vanishes;
A shy bride behind veiled curtains;
Below these dark veils
Begins a new symphony.
