The Wonders of Night by Arnab Ranjan Shee

Wonders of the night

Then there's wonders of the light;

Tell me, O lonely traveler

In which you shine so bright?

Trembling in the twilight

You gaze upon the sky;

Alas, the selfish dawning light

You think and question: why?

You stare in the horizon

Cussing and bidding farewell;

For the time has come when you shall

Know your place too well.

O the Star steals their thunder

Outshining them to dull;

For miles above and yonder

The traveler descends to sull.

You hear the blackbird mocking them

As you wish that they could stay;

But the ruthless one has once again

Chased the wolves away.

You sulk and cleave unto the breasts

Of vision as you fade;

For once again your time shall come

And you'll be marching your parade.

As the muzak of cosmos holds none against their sight,

For he knows quite well in which he shines the bright.

Ye be the rebeller, yet you frown upon your right,

Tell me O lonely traveler, about all the wonders of The Night.
