Evening Walk Poem by Jay P Narain

Disgusted I walk around the lake in the evening,
thinking that my agonies will be lost in the dark,
I watch red and blue angry clouds hovering over the lake,
scaring poor ducks, seagulls and all the nice birds.

The evning sets in majestically,
The sun gradually seems to disappear,
The nature lets the angry clouds scatter,
The willow branches swaying in gentle wind,
Seem to remind me to forget my woes.

The long trek around the lake gets lonelier in the dark,
The owls start hooting and hovering from tree to tree,
The eagles, pelican and other big birds have disappeared in the dark,
The ducks and ducklings are finding refuge in the rocks.

The lake which was ablaze a few minutes ago with sunset light,
seems to be quietely getting ready to rest peacefully in night,
The waves and glitter of sunshine over the water has faded,
Making me think that the anger and woes will gradually fade away.
