Lost

I’m
Lost like
A forgotten melody
In
The backyard
Of my hometown
Wandering
The lanes
Of my childhood.

Nostalgic,
My heart,
Reminisces and remembers
My
Nonage spent
In these environs.

Wasn’t
It meant
To last forever?

Now,
The fields
Stand silent, bare.
The
Streets are
Lonely and uncluttered.
The
Children, people
Have all vanished
In
The pandemic,
Like my childhood.

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.
