Morning Bells

Morning dawns,
Birds are chirping,
Dewdrops fall-
Fog is lifting

Sunlight glows,
Hearths are warming,
Curtains drawn,
Pots are boiling

Alarms buzz,
Eyes are yawning,
Heaters hum,
Baths are trickling

Doorbells chime,
Milkman's calling,
Garam Chai,
News unfolding

Morning rush:
Buses honking,
Lunch is packed;
Streetdogs barking

Schoolbell rings,
Children chanting,
Hush! Not a sound -
John's still sleeping
