the earthen pot
broken by untimely storm
the twilight
darkened the hope leaving
thick blood on the floor
**** **** ****
audience listens
the melodious song
mother murmurs
with her finger language
to her deaf daughter
**** **** ****
bird unfolds
the wings of freedom
the lone statue
scripts from the slum
the alphabet of hope
**** **** ****
village road
leading to the metro
the dignitary’s visit
ends with full of dust
eclipsing the sky with
hopes
**** **** ****
with open wings
butterfly kisses the flower
breezy morning
beggars share their warmth
embracing the beauty of nature
**** **** ****
an old tree
veterans from nearby
places
get together
sharing memories with
smiles
under the shadow of twilight
