Twilight thoughts

Staring out of the window,

Vehicles zoom by,

The cityscape lights up,

Indicating night is nigh,

The moon swaps places with the sun,

The baked roads heave a relieved sigh.

As the curtain falls on yet another day,

The poignant setting leads thoughts astray,

Some memories cannot be held at bay,

The mind working in its own mysterious way,

Overwhelms him with emotion; melancholy holds sway.

Abrupted by a light streaking across the sky,

He gazes up to see an elusive shooting star fly by,

This arrests the pervading mood,

Closing his eyes, resting his weary hands on his heart,

He breathes deeply, taking in the present,

Thankful for the ephemeral celestial boon,

Reassured that it will be morning soon.
