A Cold Night At A Bakery

A shanty like bakery
Off the main road...
A cold dark night
Of stars and wanderers
Of strangers and mysteries...

Conversations... Over a cup of tea
Conversations... Beautiful and everlasting
Old hindi music adding to the scenery
One cup over another
Plate after plate of maggi...

Just like the very essence of life-
A little quiet, a little peace
After the hubbub of the day..
A small pause, a little stagnancy
After the rush of city life...

At the end of all the chaos
And the cacophony of the day,
After all the pain, sweat and tears,
A blanket of stars and fireflies...
A night of coldness and comfort...

Beneath the moonlit sky
Where everything else recedes into the background
Conversations- Over cups of tea
Conversations- Beautiful and everlasting
A cold night at a bakery...
