Dusk by Aaliya Khan, 11E

Dusk will take over

like a black cat’s stare

the thick clouds will hug the sky

as if a dare

The days will be long, 

the nights; longer

‘how will I make it through?’

every soul will ponder

You can scream and yell 

and wail and cry

voices will go unheard, 

so long, the tears will dry

You’ll lose and love and

lose and lose,

the worthless will become worthy

happiness won’t remain worldly 

But stay at ease, 

for it’s just dusk

the sun will come out,

souls will no longer wonder

The dawn will break

and spread over the sky.

Stay at ease, 

for it’s just dusk.
