Light’s Eternal Dance

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Light, after a brief pause, makes itself known,
Welcomed as dawn—a fresh beginning
But what if it were ever-present, never gone?
Endless light, no night—a perpetual day.
Imagine Earth bathed in unending brights,
No sinking sun behind the horizon’s flow.
Blackout curtains would be our daily woe,
We celebrate the Sun’s inadequacy, you know.

Moon and stars, invisible to our sight,
Claim omnipresence like angels divine
East or West, tired eyes find no rest
Edison toils, inventing darkness each night.
Will Earth sway, or will the Sun stay still?
A burning planet seeks blue ice’s cool display.
Under withering trees, it finds solace at times
Shades appear cool, but their comfort won’t stay.

new gods emerge from North and South
light and brightness – levels redefined
rainbow hues form boundaries on Earth
Black and white surrender to spectrums new
My blues outshine the yellows you flaunt,
Orange and red hide, in central green urn
Violet and indigo stream, ebony a dream
Fashion cloaks itself before skins burn

The Sun’s strategy- both demure, mature
shifts us to other sides, under azure skies.
Each half experiences life in parts
anticipates wholeness granted by God
A smaller world, easier to rule and sway,
Half asleep, half active; controlled chaos
Clocks and dates keep them chasing Time
Sun and God wield Ethos, Logos, Pathos

MTB: It begins to dawn

  8. Nicely done, Reena. I don’t think I could cope without night, ‘bathed in unending brights’ and ‘no sinking sun behind the horizon’s flow’. These colourful lines grabbed me:

    ‘My blues outshine the yellows you flaunt,
    Orange and red hide, in central green urn
    Violet and indigo stream, ebony a dream’.
