You are not alone

Steal the quiet of the Star-spangled night; borrow the calm of the gently lapping sea

Let the breeze billow through the trees. Sit; inhale the serenity of the predawn.

Let it seep in though the pores of your skin let it run in your veins like a crimson tide,

Swashing, Raging, roiling, surging through.

 

Then dip a quill in the red and scribble on the high heavens, a message for peace.

Pour your heart out, let the words drip, purging your soul, cleansing your spirit.

Let them seep out from the many apertures till you are spent, your soul is satiated.

 

Then rest your hand and lay down for a bit under the canopy of the night sky,

Just be one with the millions who read and want the same.

 

You will find that you are not alone….

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.
