Dawn
Poet: Muniza Wasi
By: Muniza Wasi, Karachi

How long can be a night
sometimes just a moment
but at times forever
dragging with every breathe
waiting for the dawn
that seemed so near
but still too far
yearning for the light
finding way in the dark
going in circles all the while
wondering why is it so long
why is it never ending
waiting for that dawn
standing in the dusk.
