Hi Vijay, such sage words to flow from your pen onto the page. A Senryu worth the reading my friend. Sometimes it is better to fill the silence before the storm breaks. Have a wonderful Monday. your friend always....Mike.

A clever senryu, Vijay. Silence can be golden, as it's oft said, but not the silence before a storm! Best to calm down the situation. Regards // paul
