The Sunset

Tighten the noose around the neck of the dying sun

Let it not escape, let it not sink beneath the horizon

Leave it suspended a while longer, out on the skyline

I am not done watching the sunset, it is not yet time

 

Scatter some birds, let them fly homeward bound

Let the seductive breeze blow swishing in sound

Let the Dandelion’s break and sprinkle on the sky

Like tiny white cottony clouds moving by and by.

 

Let someone strum pure notes on a lyre or guitar

Let those rise up into the night, clear, high and far

Let them reach out to the sun, entice him to sway

In this dusk in my life, let me dance my troubles away

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.
