One evening in the month of May

Sunset at Telenkhedi on 19th May 2009

On a hot day in the month of May this year standing by the lakeside trying to soothe myself with the slight breeze that blew over the cool, deep waters of the lake I wrote these lines:

Setting sun
resplendent in shades
of blue and yellow
so desperately beautiful.
Little does it convey
the darkness
that follows,
and engulfs the world.

    The poem is

    “One autumn morn
    I chanced to cross
    A field of corn
    And there it was….”
