May be it’s a sign

There are times when I am out in the hot sun, sweating

And a stray tuft of cottony cloud will momentarily

Take pity on me and blow gently to cover the sun briefly.

At such times I think, “Maybe it’s a sign that God cares.”

 

There are times when I am bone weary after a day’s labour

And mere acts of the most random kindness by strangers

Touch me, steal my heart and bring sheen of unshed tears.

At such times I think, “Maybe it’s a sign that God loves.”

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.
