A giant shadow here comes emerging
from the cool dark late summer evening
The frolic landscape bewitched to utter silence
With no fresh flowery fragrances left to its ambience
The slender leaning pine trees canโt stop gaping
And wink at the wide golf-course view melting
The day workers travelling back their dwelling
in the realm of darkness thousand headlights flashing
The eerie katydids- and cricket-noises echoing all through
Looking at every second of advancing time
Swelling in unfathomable scale, the shadow, oh mine!
Engulfing in his thick quilt everything coming on his way
The dusking sun is all set to plunge in the cool night today
Taking back richly energized soul from the sapped bodies
The landscape now bathes in brilliant urban lamps
Like the galaxy of stars descended from the night skies
The crescent moon then shimmers overhead
watching over the half-dead town ahead
The heavy dark clouds assemble for a late-night gamble
Patronizing the dark giant shadow in his nightly kingdom.
