The Transparent Umbrella
written by: Bipul Banerjee
The clouds are heavy
Unable to hold back emotions
Finally give way to
Droplets
Drizzles
Rain
Some run helter-skelter
Some dance in vain
The urban creatures
Pull out umbrellas
Red
Black
Yellow
Grey
All matching emotions
To shield themselves in disdain
The drops fall off
Opaqued by colours
I too wander in the same jungle
But my umbrella is transparent
Unwilling to be drenched
But not turning a blind eye
To the downpour
That is outside
That is inside
