The sun has risen , shining to its fullest grace,
The birds have woken , the winds they embrace,
The trees have awoken , beautiful flowers bloom,
But why in you bleary eyes , do I see gloom?

The fishes in the rivers , are wishing good day,
The mountains feel smiling , put up an enchanting display,
The dew drops on the leaves , are diamonds they lure,
But why are you bleary-eyed ? Have you woken up for sure?


Alas! The sun is setting down , its going to be night!
Wake up now! Or to live we will surely have to fight!
The birds are disappearing! They are heading to their nests!
The day lilies have wrinkled! And so will the rest!
The moon is not shining! Such darkness is of what he is afraid!
Even the stars his closest friends , could not him persuade!
Such a dreaded night has encroached , upon the ever smiling day,
This is the reality that concretized , in sleep as you lay,
The day was just a dream , it shattered into pieces,
The sun , the birds , the trees have all vanished , now what remains is their creases,
Why did you have to sleep for so long? Why didn’t you wake up? I was trying so hard!
In the joyful shining day you could have , made your early start,
Such is the apathy of man , he lives in his dreams,
But the reality is fast approaching and that is what it means,
Now though we are late , but still the time is right,
Pump up your spirits , put up a brave fight,


For the earth is being destroyed , our dreams are fast going to shatter,
Reality is  approaching , concern is now what matters.
The day is our dream home land EARTH , the dreaded night is what we are making of it,
Stop polluting this EARTH , its time we gave it a face-lift,
Stop wasting MOTHER EARTH’s life , stop murdering her soul,
For she does support us blindly , in our life she plays a major role,
Put an end to this approaching night , for all we wish is the ever joyful day,
Love MOTHER EARTH and care for her needs , is all what this poem wants to say……..

Hi Chickoo I aprreciate very much this poem which means more than its first reading, I saw too in it a song for life before a suicide as a possible reading...

Enjoyed very much
