Sunshine

A single ray fell, illuminated a tiny speck of Earth

and from that marriage of light & soil, it took birth.

Such was the love between land and heaven

that when together, the sapling’s birth was a given.

 

A tiny life, so precious that took on a form of its own.

Such was the magic of sunshine that resplendent it shone.

The light and soil nurtured it as best that they could,

Uncle water pitched in too, as often family should.

 

And soon it grew tall and mighty, standing proud.

Oh! So magnificent it looked even in the crowd.

Heaven and Earth took a bow, as proud parents should;

Sunshine smiled happily, it had done what it could.

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.
