By Ashok Suri
There it is!
Flitting from nook to nook,
In fear of the thundering clouds.
For a while,
There is silence all around.
I hear no sound
Except rain
Lashing the ground.
Then, I hear her jubilant notes again.
I understand the clouds have relented
And there is no rain.
I look out, and lo!
I behold the chirpy creature,
Flapping its wings in the little pool of water,
Without any worry or bother.
Ashok Suri is a retiree and is settled with his family in Mumbai. He tries to convey with simple words what he wants to say.
