long winter nights

18/11/25

In the long winter nights,

chill winds and fluttering 

window panes,sounds of thunder

from afar, in-between lightening 

amidst your sleep - 

moving up and down

warmth of woolen clothes

keep you in comfort's hug:

no love songs, no  humming 

no tunes in night's chill care;

Now this body awakened by a call

for a new poem or  a sequence of 

verses, a plot of short story well-knit,

draw your note book of quick  rhymes,

sip of coffee to inspire your melody more;

forgetting all saddening moments,

conspiracies and plots still around,

wondering how long, how much this soul

can sustain? notes go on , sweet shortening

nights, for  a dawn of new awakening.
