What Joy It Was

Nipun Singla 2007 (Sri Ganganagar)



When I see the dark sky
What peace it is
To listen to the drizzle over my head
Every splutters on the covering takes me daydreaming
And patch some golden moments
What Joy it was to get the first drop from the sky
After a hot summer.
When I see the sky look like the sapphire
What pleasure it was to open the blinds
Acting as a blockage to illumination
What joy it was to have juice dripping down the chin
What fun it was to hold a bat on the street and break Windows and then have an earful
What joy it was.....
