When the sun has just risen,
The leaves have just seen the water droplets on them,
Flowers are yet to open,
Birds are ready for the day’s toil,
And things have just started
I think of you…
When the sun is shining bright,
Leaves are all green,
Flowers are in full bloom,
Birds are busy collecting,
And things are in full swing
I think of you…
When the sun is about to set,
Leaves are closing,
Flowers are retracting too,
Birds are flying back,
And things are slowing down
I think of you…
When the sun has set long back,
Leaves have forgotten their hue,
Blossoms have fallen,
Birds have settled and flown to the unknown,
And things are dead already
I still think of you…
