A Little Light Verse

By Vijaya Sundaram
Little island in the sea
Waves keep rolling up to me
Wash away extremities
Cover me eventually.
Time rolls up, and rolls away
Sounds rush in throughout the day
Things to do, and things to say
Are what make me forget to play.
Midnight comes with quiet tread
The kitchen clock ticks overhead
Silence hovers near my head
And whispers, “Now it’s time for bed.”
