The ground bellowed,
She woke up feeling the tremor.
Frightened, she wrapped herself in
the warmth of her arms.
Then, silence.
But she trembled,
Sleep abandoned, eyes cluttered by fear,
She stared into the void,
Tears rolling down her eyes
In haste to get away and disappear.
Right then, she wished she were those tears
Flowing away from someone’s eyes,
Those sound drops pitching into the emptiness.
She saw the sky lit up with thousand sparks
Not firework, she observed,
It was fire, flashing into stillness of the night.
The blaze grew bright,
Her room took on the orange hue.
She closed her eyes not wanting to see
But the melancholy cries of the people echoed in the darkness of her room
Shutting her ears, she laid down
Trying not to feel the thundering ground.
She wished she was with her parents
Sound asleep in their bed,
Buried deep into the earth
Cocooned by love, care and the still earth.
She slid deeper into the comforter, eyes closed,
A prayer made way from her parted lips.
She relaxed herself, but her ears vulnerable to cries exposed,
Drifting into dreams of the ethereal world
That she wished to be in
Escaping the cold dark ones, she lived in.
Time embedded this little event In its Book of Endurance
While the starless night witnessed
The hostility of human to one’s own kin.
