The Wily Wind

You entreat with a gentle swoosh, your charms beckon

As you blow through harried lands, parched for your love

Swishing through the trees you playfully swirl up leaves.

They rise up; they dance around, like marionettes in act.

 

O wily wind you blow through my parched land and life

Igniting emotions and passions, I thought long since dead

You make me yearn, you bring hope, you stir optimism.

With waggishness you entice me to be complicit in play

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.
