ebony ordeal

of course she knew

none would welcome her

on her arrival

never a praise showered

never a word uttered

true to her duty's honour,

like a veiled beauty

night crawled lavishly

snaking through glitters

sprinkled on her robe.

a gaze through the window

radiated cold aurora

eclipsed by grandeur of moon

even in her quiet trails

nightwould never fall asleep.

dawn challenges her modesty

for she would never allow

humanity to remain in dark

and see the truth

in all its glory

and all its shine

daughter of mighty ticking time

she promises to return

to offer her laps

from a day of harsh world

to rest your head on.

sleep her exuberant gift

to prepare you

for a new dawn's spirit

she would wear

the twilight attire

like a new bride's desire

pure grace no satire

night is boundless beauty

for all to decipher.......
