The teal door...



The Teal Door...

The teal door stood silent…
Witnessing eras gentle or violent!
Silently witnessing people come and go.
It even welcomed the people it did not know.
During celebrations mango leaves and marigold it adorned,
It stood like a silent witness when mortals mourned.
Riots and carnivals it saw,
Standing witness to everything with an awe!
Heat and rain did it bear,
Reticently witnessing bourgeosis stare!
It stood placid,
Even when someone threw on it acid.
It stood sane,
When folks wished it boon or bane.
Guarding the honour of inmates it stood,
The teal door made of wood!
