Impetus to Chrysiridia's Slumber

Noted Nest

By Zainab Shahid



As beauteous as they may seem,

In all their sublime yet prosaic gleam;

Enticing the delirious mind of humankind,

That remains in its habitual dolour entwined;

And laced with woeful desolation,

Begetted by the morally barbarous civilization;

And by the supposedly insurmountable drudgery of routine,

They environ reality in a manner so serene;

They beckon to crepuscule to smother the vast expanse of Mother Earth,

And the testimony of man's deeds henceforth;

Their beguiling radiance coaxes the pysche of man thus,

He pretermits the dead of night that awaits dusk;

Sunsets, verily, are in deceitful disguise,

Stealthily sheathing trails, concealing egregious lies.
