Street Children on an Alley

The world of street children got liberty
Lost their shyness behind the drapes of dark
Their moms busy for the next day's planning
A second innings of their play resumed
Hide and seek raising dust clouds from the ground
Hitting peers, falling down but no worries
When the drifting cloud curtains masked the moon
A deathly hush crammed the entire alley
Whistles and shouts of joy when it crawled out
Somehow, this view left me untainted joy

Place : 1 st
