The Coveted Dawn

Isn’t this the coveted dawn

That you longed for

Over those long summers

To live your remnant life afresh?

Look, your worries aren’t awake yet,

Troubles seem relishing their sadist dreams,

Sluggish vices are yet to bid the night bye -

As if sleep has numbed them all

Until your weak mind infuses

Into them fresh vigour again!

There, the vibrant glow on horizon

Preceding the Day’s King’s arrival

Brings in new hope

Clad in light and warmth;

And the soothing southern breeze

Whispers in your ears plain inspiration

Readying you to live like you must.

Dither no more, my friend,

Set sails forthwith,

At this opportune hour,

For, rewards that wait ahead

Oft come to the resilient few

Who never count their tumbles

Until they start anew and win.
