Life Beckons


In the marshy mists, the royal sun arose
Above the horizon, like a king.
From behind the mountains he rose
to fist the mist away.
Chirping trumpets, splashing plummets, nature
Announced the day has begun. And the life beckons

The splendour caught the sparkling eyes
Of a lovely beauty who just awoke.
The curvy surface of her face
filled the space with her grace. She
Announced the day has begun. And the life beckons

The dew on the leaf vapoured away
As if the sun savoured right away.
The first rays fell on my face
Just to show my grimace. Cuckoo
Announced the day has begun. And the life beckons

I stood at the window dry as a bone
Waiting for a baritone.
The wait came to end, so did my mind. The phone
Announced the day has begun. And the life beckons

Morning blues flew away, like the birds looking for hay.
I took my way, to my working bay
All my joy was shattered,
Thanks to my boss who ever battered. He
Announced the day has begun. And the life beckons

I counted the ticks of every clock, in my block;
Sitting like a rock waiting for the
Company to lock. I rushed back home
To enjoy the dusk with a plate full of rusk.
I went to bed hoping for a day when She would
Announce the day has begun. And the life beckons
