Lunch Break

The sun glides in

Over the promising blank page

A child sits alert

Beside the Tiffin box

Lies a crayon set

 

A flower should he draw

Or a hut where he wants to stay

Or the kite that he saw

Dominating the vast firmament

Should he draw his school bag

His shinny shoes or a bunch of bees

Or a face with viridian green

 

Before the crayon touched the page

I woke up my duties await
