Sonnet: When The Sun Comes On

The Earth is so dark moonless night; Tropical forests don’t have any light; Life is quiet mostly in the midnight, Save those animals that shun any light. The whole world just keeps waiting for daylight, And suddenly life appears in our sight; The flora takes off her nocturnal gown; The leaves look green and the bark is now brown. The fauna too awaits the Sun’s first rays! To warm up their bodies in the brightened ways; And soon the meadow becomes all alive; The Honey bees buzzing from every hive. Sniffing the fresh air comes the dancing Fawn! And Birds sing their songs, heralding the Dawn. 6-1-2000
