Contradictions in Rhyme

*This is a little piece about a very early morning/very late night walk that I took not too long ago*

The cold dawn was a delight,
The wincing dog a fright.

The emptiness of the land made it tranquil,
yet sudden bursts of noise proved it fragile.

The sharpness in the air was fresh and crisp,
the dewdrops on the leaf edge's looked they wanted to leap and take a risk.

The orange streetlights stood majestically tall,
But they knew that at sunrise, their reign would fall.

The newspaper boy with his bundles cycled hard,
as the white haired figure stretched himself quietly on the yard.

At the distance, the pinkish orange hue rears its gorgeous head,
the young woman rolled around playfully and went back to bed.

The few stars that one could see, slowly faded out,
the frail radio produced white noise, as if it were still in doubt.

Everything at this hour appeared to be aware of its impermanence,
The moments seemed unafraid of the future tense.

Endeavour

*Caveat : Made this up in about 15 mins on a bus journey back from work*

Endeavour endeavour,
Give up never.

Closure and Completion
Success with determination.

Numerous are the snakes in the world,
Who will try to get your head in a twirl.

Ignore their hissing tongues,
For they are filled with venom.

Brush off those praises,
they come only in phases.

Don't mind those setbacks,
They are but small thorns in your tracks.

Make everything a memory,
for objects come with a date of expiry.

Be nice to people,
They will one day help you when you are feeble.

Believe in a cause,
Be steadfast in your thoughts.

Take one day at a time,
For the underprivileged, do spare a dime.

Let the world your actions behold,
And your legend for generations will be told.

Endeavour endeavour,
Give up never.
