Last night I slept under the thunder storms and pouring rain,
in the dark, all dark around !
In the darkest damp corner of some soulless city!
How long it’s been here?
Someone asked.
I couldn’t recollect.
It’s been almost ever I replied
Yea, it’s been so long, more than a decade? Centuries may be! So long!
My legs were too weak to wake up, to look around, to escape!
Who asked that? I couldn’t see, nor that I cared!
Suddenly next day
I wake up to the ray of light piercing my eyes,
through the hanging golden shower, a humming bird was peeping!
The spring! The Gulmohar, golden shower!
The chirping birds and the clear blue sky!
I’m no more under the storm.
It’s no more dark
It’s spring !! Spring!!!
