April

Morning. She opened her eyes,
Glistening with the moisture. Last night.
She smiled. Parted with the blanket hugging her.
Slowly kept her feet. The cold concrete floor.
Tip toing her way. Towards the moor.
The sounds from her anklet. Following her,
Shrill Shrill Shrull, Shrill Shrull…

She was about to cross the door,
She remembered something.
One thing. She had forgotten from her morning routine,
She ran back. The other end of the room,
Shrill Shrill Shrill, Shrulll Shrill…
And opened the windows. The sunshine came in.

That sunshine.
It was waiting patiently. Only for her.
Lightning her dress. Pure white fabric.
Kissing her face. Touching her neck.
The cold waves. Disappearing in her frivolous hair,
They had travelled for ages. To reach their sire.

She closed her eyes. Smelled the breeze ,
Took a moment. Savoured the aroma in it,
Then she kneeled down. Looked at the glorious sky ,
“God tell me, today which life needs saving” ,
She waited for an answer. From deafening silence.
Nobody said anything. Nobody listened.
But she smiled. She knew what had to be done.

She got up. The world at standstill.
Then quickly barged out of her room,
The anklets. Trying to follow her foot steps,
Shrill Shrull Shrill Shrull Shrill…
The destiny’s child on her mission.
Her name… APRIL.

## April. Liked the name. Loved the concept of girl getting up in the morning and asking God to tell whom should she save today. Plus tried to write it in a little different style than normal. Short sentences. Probably not the best that I wrote but this is something different. ##
