2021
Excellence Award in the 'The Write Note 2021' competition
The sun burgeons like a blossoming flower
Bearing light to each craft in its path
A canopy of ochroid, amidst the cloudless northern sky
An ethereal creation, radiating beyond the boundaries of Earth
People open their drapes, a desire for new hopes and ambitions
Welcoming blithesome thoughts into their minds
Irradiant rays arise as nature's mount
Bringing life to the ambience
Yet dusk emanates once again
and darkens one's soul to a halt
Every hue deepening in dejection
Shutting out all the glow in the world
Life slowly drains away
When humanity shuts their windows in fear
A fear of the unknown, the cold and impregnable
Wishing the dawn would once again reappear
