The torrent

 


An untimely torrent leaks

Like a tip toe foe at night

It spoils an innocent slumber

A helpless flutter in the nest

When the dreams had basked

A hopeful eye on their hatching

Has woven many a happy chirp

Now these swarming grey clouds

The peril of thundering tempest

Eager to  capsize  the rocking  cradle

How to desert the impregnated dreams

And how to fly away in the storm

How to stay in  the vacillating nest

Only to await the demise of hope

This untimely torrent is an ambush

Of an overpowering adversary

An opportunity to prove the grit

When it is easier  to surrender

Enduring with no choice at disposal

 Till either the rain or we last.
