The lazy sun
not got up again
missing its arrival
the soul took its trail
and ventured back in dreams
lost in thoughts
it awake at noon
to have dinner this afternoon
isn’t it early to have dinner ?
the friend asked over phone
the soul replied didn’t remember when had dinner last night
clumsy in his work
it dropped the pen
lost the only pair of glasses
kept searching and hauling
only to exclaim it got choked in drain
slid while washing as it rained
To those sunflowers watching the field
alas the sun wasn’t around
merry go rounds
wondered in crowd
Will it screech on ground
The rooster ran
ran in dismay
there was no sun to greet today
the houses lit
not with sunlight
but burning coal all night
ohhh dear fiery ball
where are you dancing tonight
don’t wish to come back on duty again
the skies looked angry and grey
as they seeped their way
cause they didn’t miss the warm sun
they were angry to do duty again
the souls prayed
let their fiery ball up again
the sun which draped the sheet
smiled and smirked
well you called for the cold days
so I took my rest
Now keep searching
I will keep doing stitching
when the sunflowers sang
the sun finally soft hearted again
while sneezing and snorting
it replied
a matter of few months
I shall come again
look I got a flu
locked up without clue
in self isolation to heal
Looks like corona got me seal
shall meet you again, its a deal
then we shall have a meal
bless you dear sun
return to heavenly earth …..
