Winter's Inroad



Winter’s Inroad
Soubhagyabanta Maharana

Winter glitters like diamond
When hungry sun
Swallows dews and droplets
From the leaves of grass.

The fog of frosty night
Appears to envelope the sky
With a white canopy
Till the cruel eyes of the sun
Looking at the shivering earth.

The poor sleeping on the footpath
Blame the winter nights
When mercury dips down
To delineate gloom and gravity.

The cold waves tremble
Bones and marrows of old man
Who feels as if his breath
Would be choked sooner
By the piercing cold.
Unkind and inclement winter
Sojourn over the grey territories
Of birds, beasts and fishes
To disturb ecological balance.

Winter may be a bane or boon
Accordingly what the poverty line
Deems to think over it.
It will be a hazard
To frown upon the happier moments
Of animate and inanimate
Eulogizing winter’s discontent.

Winter is rightly called
The season of coughs and colds
Fevers and fatigues
Making inroad into life’s territory
To subjugate spirit and spasm.
