Dawn Crept Over Me





           Twishi Mishra, B. Sc. (H) Zoology, I Year


                     I woke up another morning,                                  To find a new way
                 No ounce of sunlight nor of darkness,                      Between light and darkness.


             Dawn crept over me! And asked me to begin,                         Dawn crept over me!
                      Said no signs are required                        And told me to embrace differences,
                   When it all comes from within.                           To look deep inside the heart
                                                                         And not on the outer appearances.
                                                                                                                                       Hari
                         Dawn crept over me!                                                                                                                                               Soaking in the shower,
                    Like the illumination of hope,                 Dawn crept over me! And took a sigh of relief,                                                                          I felt her leaving my body.
                       And said, never give up                                  Said it’s all up to you
                                                                                                                                                                                           My chest filled with the first breath of light headed-
                   ‘Cause there will always be scope.                             And your belief.                                   Anjali Bhadana , B. Sc. (H)                           ness

           Dawn crept over me! And offered me forgiveness,          With sleep coming back in the eyes,
                                                                                                                                     When the first drop of rain                           And was gone forever.
                   From all the mistakes I fret over              I wish for tomorrow’s dawn to greet and
                                                                                                                                     Brushed my cheeks,                                    I remember it clearly,
                       But never really witness.                                       rise.
                                                                                                                                     I looked right into the eyes of the great sky.        The day I decided to let go of my grief and past
                         Dawn crept over me!                                                                                         Clouds rumbled at my gaze;                            My old self left my body.
                  And taught me to avoid emptiness,                                                                                  From within me
