The sky was cloudless, clear, dark and black,
There was no question of turning around back;
Not on the hill which the rain bathed green,
But walking on flat roads where nobody had been;
The adamant fog tried to block the wary way,
But the roads said ‘run’ you don’t have to stay;
The silent pebbles didn’t complain about pain,
Tired of alerting effort which were all in vain;
Not an alarming screech of the worried little owl,
Not a scared, sorrowful wolf to give a loud howl,
Now the moon had vanished away leaving no trace,
The starless sky showered the darkness on the face,
The birds refused to cheer, tweet, chirp and sing,
A hurt dove walked on the road with a broken wing.
