THIS IS THE POEM~#1

The Sun Witness By:Nurunnessa Choudhury

Long ago a young girl
wearing a saffron coloured saree
walked gracefully
on her way
she moved the square stone
from the white
near-dead grass.
By the lightning speed
of her black hand.

Silently, with her gaze,
she commanded the sun
to send its light
down upon everything,
even the white grass.

The sun accepted
her easy command
and came down with humility.

Day after,
she passed beggers in the street,
and tucked in her silk saree
to avoid their stains.

Seeing this,
the sun hid behind clouds,
and rain came,
unexpectedly, like tears.
