Mundane Battle
Published by Aakarsh under Verses on Saturday, April 16, 2005
today, again the arena of the dusk is red
orange rays oozing from the wounded sun.
the sky reveals a lot of blood-shed
though the battle today has just begun.
the day has given up its weapons blazing,
for the powerful night has besieged it again.
my shadow too, which was courageously razing,
now gave up the fight and vanished in vain.
amidst the lucent flowers of triumphant stars
look! the night has hoisted the flag of the moon alight.
like it did in many previous wars,
the day conceded again, to the victory of the night.

The night didnt win outright
The day didnt give in forthright
Though the adjectives indicate a fight
What can possibly be seen in good light
Its the mind not the world thats in a fright.
