Requiem Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

At the stroke of half-past five,
As the day dawned
And I watched,
The Night retraced its step,
Allowed the daylight to spread,
Removed offending darkness,
Awakened sleeping life,
Reignited action and hunger
And revived hopes and dreams;
The least it could do
Before it shifted gradually
To the other side of the boat
Carrying us across the starlit sky
To where we had started
To study and undress the past.
