Cyclone

it’s coming they said,

a cyclone

announced and

broadcasted,

it rained the whole day,

she skipped work to

see the drops falling on

empty streets

a beautiful wet day, yet

tomorrow would be

cyclone

she watched the leaves

in a trance

and then there was a

tap on the window pane

a few of them came to

meet her before tomorrow

could it be the last day?

Cycle

the same old, same old,

same old days

you, me, we, and they

the cycle of milky ways,

millions of stars wait

amidst that same silent

sky

the nights come, the

days go

summer, winter, spring,

and autumn

only monsoon brings

drops of rain

or else everything remains

same
