PHAGUN: THE NIGHT'S WAIL

The Banyan twigs
broke the night's silence:
mysterious howls
of the Phagun
encouraged 
her night's wail,
and she woke up!
"Huh! Will it ever end?"
...
deaths and hunger
numerous,
troublesome wails
furious,
the moon half-soaked in
the air, 
all so wild and chaotic
just like the honeybees
lost in their little trips!

She decided
to stay awake,
avoid nightmares,
seizures,
and not think awhile.
She knew
she wasn't desperate
but was void of words
for herself, for friends:
unbelievable how times
had changed!

She stayed still.
The howls started
to enthrall her, 
the night seemed
so friendly ne'er.
Was it the druggish Phagun?
...
The feeble coos
of the pigeons
welcomed the Phagun.
This Phagun wasn't different:
creation's elements
conspired not to wail,
but, to sincerely convey:
Wait for your Spring
just like 
you wait for your morning!
