A PRICELESS GIFT

Loneliness can be a penetrating pain

for us sometimes.

But it could be a blessing in disguise occasionally

especially for those engage

in writing, reading or meditation.

No wonder

in this city of sound and fury

loneliness is a priceless commodity for all of us.

True

loneliness breeds boredom but

helps and inspires the citizens to come out of their

shells and melt in the faceless crowds

or mingling with friends or colleagues

thereby keeping away from boredom.

With the approach of night 

and with the citizens going for sleep

until the next dawn awakes them

the citizens lay stuck to their pillows

they could enjoy and listen to the

music of local trains

moving ahead through the suburbs with

rhythmic music

kind of music ie. the kissing of

the wheels over the rails

otherwise the music of iron.
