Snow Fall

Rajeev Sabni

In chillywinters,

When, mercury showed

No sign, to come up

Those days, when pheren¹

Shielded me, against biting cold,

Kangri warming me up

snow, I have seen it fall,

through, small glassy windows

of my home.

It happened, once too often,

the navsheen³ arrived

admidst dark, silent, nights

from the cloud sown sky

The tiny snow balls, didn't

drop & die, they engulfed, earth

layer after layer & whitened everything.

It commits me to memorise

those white people, white roof tops,

white electric poles, along white lanes

the white frozen lakes and that huge

white booun", long tiny glittering

swords. the strange

but splendid hush of land scape

sushergants hanging, like transparent

covered this snow.

Kasheer looked like a blank

sheet of paper.

spotlers and virgin eyeing through

those avalanches of snow

turned whole icy-fang, into

a book of verse,

a record of all unheard

& unspoken words.
