Cup

Its started to pour out of nowhere

Freezing cold, dense fog added to the woes

Thoughts running wild like the wind

Why did we even come here ?

They exchanged looks like two 

co conspirators

Lost in the deluge of what got them here

A loud sound...Boom..startled their thoughts

Sheep too ran for shelter

They both ran and ran for shelter

Bone wet soaked and freezing

A door appeared like a new beginning

Knocked knocked none to answer

Clack..twisted the knob 

The door creaked open 

Loud thud closed behind me 

Two further stuck close to each other

Sudden warmth and they breathe again

Heart has stopped pounding

Few men gathered around the fire

Singing chanting or what was it?

They turned around to see

What they saw stuck them in awe

Stack and stacks

Colourful cups, wooden cups for what?

The sound heard at the distance

Now was closer and closer

Men gave a big wooden cup

Cup was filled with warmth!

The elixir made it to our throat

The tiny beautiful cafe tilted

Men brewed further 

Cups emptied one after another

Where did it all start?

Why did we even come here?

The deluge took them away

Life became a complete blur...

This was in Kalapokhri...a tiny cafe and a homestay..They are brewing Tongba!
