1. The Moon Is Yet To Rise

Though the sun's already set,
The moon is yet to rise

Though the moon's light
Is not so bright,
But it's cool dim light ,
Gives an equal delight.

Though the people can't come out
And bask in the sunshine,
But resting in a conducive darkness,
Gives an equal delight.

Though the mother bird can't set a fly,
In her search for food,
For her tiny cheeks and closest ally,
But spending time with her family,
Gives her an equal delight.

Though the pilgrims can't listen to the morning chaos and religious prayers,
And pray their deity or attain some peace,
But a calm and pleasant surrounding,
Gives them an equal delight.

Though all the happiness a morning attains,
Can't be bore by the evening gains,
But the sun in disguise,
Gives an aromatic satisfaction,
Which all the way gives an equal delight.

My life's at a stage,
Where the sun's already set,
I've not achieved a bit ,
And reached no height.
But o' my friends,
It's never too late,
The moon of my fate,
Is yet to rise,
And being very concise,
The success ahead may not be the brightest sunshine,
But whatever it may be ,
Will give an equal delight.
