dusk to dawn

Have u ever watched the transition from night to day? Not merely the sunrise, but colour of the firmament before, during and after that. Darkness to light, the end of a chapter and a renewed beginning of another, a flame which destroys yet paradoxically renews anything in comes into contact with.

I love those moments. Especially when I was mugging for TEE. Once day breaks, the psychological threshold is surmounted and I get back to the books with renewed vigour and vim. The rays of sunshine inspire the human heart, just as they give life to plants.

The sad fact is that not many of us would sacrifice sleep just to experience this magical moment, tempting as I make it sound. I wouldn’t. But I long to find the motivation to do so.

Perhaps when I recover my work ethic I might have a chance of doing that.

Till then, id have to be content to be dancing in clubs with artificial lighting, or indulging in inefficient slumber, not for a moment cognisant of what I’m missing.

PS. This entry doesn’t sound “me” does it? The lack of “elaborate style”, bombastic words and inclusion of over romanticism. Hongy/joyce?
