A plea to the raging wind

Halt the flight of the raging wind

Let it howl, moan but in confines.

Under the grey skies, leave me be

My frail and battered body pleads.

The heavens have mercy, I entreat

I am old and alone, do have a care.

Allow me to go forage for my food

I have to persist, I have to subsist.

The grey skies mirror my dark life

That has endured so much, sadly.

Is it time to go meet my maker?

That I wonder; and if yes then

I will come now to lie down

And to rest for one final time.

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
