Divine Dusk
Sandeep Kumar Mishra 1974 (Sujangarh)
The pale elderly sun looking back
through the holes of warm mountainous gap
toward his legacy which he owned
and enjoyed in his nubile time
Those worldly parceners
are preparing for a new morrow,
The birds, homeward, in a row
like a bow aimed at the twilight sky
Slow lowing herds measure tired trails
as herdsmen plod their weary way,
The dust clouds mask the air
In this sphinx inky time
Holding a glimmer of eve lamps
the trees erect ghostly figures,
Look! The premature early “Hesperus”
with his twin, a half crescent moon,
A delicate image with starry background
When sun touches his westerly abode,
wise interact on a stony –round banyan,
Faint church bells in spiritual broadcast
airs the tenure of mortal industry
This is divine dusk time,
Reminding the inevitable to you,
O Feeble Mankind!
