A scattered smile
A Poem by Faridoon Shahryar
Fear tapped on my shoulders
A sinister stare followed
Snowstorm knocked
On my window
An unnerving restlessness,
Parched throat
Quivered in the cold
The night was
Darker and longer
Than the usual,
I fiddled with my mobile
Diverting attention
Hesitantly I decided
To look beyond
The curtains of doubt
The mountains
Gleamed through the clouds
A scattered smile
Winked at the sunlight
It was time to
Make the tea
Dip the biscuits
Hit the gym
Plan the breakfast
Even the dreams are chirping
Time to deceive
Ghosts of the mind
Arrange the bed properly
And just open
The door of freedom
To walk out
Into the sun.
