Day and Night

a poem by Rema Prasanna

Day bright with sunshine
Intense in nature
Vibrant in disposition
Filled with delight
Day cool and composed
Poised in attitude
Precise in action
Day dutiful, effortful and
Certainly demanding

Night confused in conflict
Crammed in black
A loner in general
Calm and sober
Strong but insecure
Melodious not harsh
Thoughtful and watchful
Night cautious
Cherished by moonlight
Night shines
But provisionally
