Pe(A)ce

By Shubhra Chaubey

"The storm will be over soon",
they say
Don't worry,
the experienced one 
smiled and walked away 
in the dust, to the distance 
I am here, one and only 
Alone in the house, no, not lonely
The wind is howling 
My pieces are falling 
They say, "soon there will be Peace"
I am literally worried 
Well what can be done 
Tapping my feet 
Squeezing my fist 
Waiting and chanting 
"Peace "and in horror" Piece"
Peace will be there
It's Universally known 
I am looking forward to 
Find my pieces 
thrown apart 
Oh my heart rate decreases 
Everyone suddenly shouting 
'Peace and calmness restored'
Blaze in my eyes 
Dazzled smile 
frazzled puzzled ride towards 
finding the slice
After the storm 
They talked about Peace 
and I about Pieces......
