Twilight Song

Worlds crept in
         With its colors and shades
    Past beyond the abysmal
          day that is bludgeoned with
                             life’s greatest mystery…

as the sun agonized over
            the last streams of light
        it hides behind the hills
                  and mountains cover,
its pale shade just over the horizon
             unperturbed yet wishing
                     that though there was an appointed time
                                      in this cycle called life
         it would see through yet another day and
                     that in some part of this vast universe
          its lights would eternally shine
                                  unbothered by horizons or cloud covers…

and when darkness shroud the skies
                            hope shall never falter or strength fail
               for just beyond the darkness of the night
                    the light will just be waiting


                                       and another tomorrow shall begin…


*As far as I can remember, this is the last poem I wrote since I shifted to technical writing due to the required paper load in the academe which made me adapt to its demands and style. I almost forgotten the creative genre as a result. When I became a student journalist, I really rooted for the literary editorship. It never happened. I became the editor-in-chief instead. Very fair exchange. Five years later and now in the process of reclaiming old passion and dreams, I intend to go back to the way it should be for me. And I hope IT IS now:)
