Sudhan Subedi
Concealed within the motorbike’s chest,
Buried deep, with silent rest.
No grumble, no weary groan,
Just a smile, left to atone.
The owner gazed, time and again,
Should it stay, or leave in vain?
Space was needed, things to store,
Yet the raincoat stayed once more.
No words spoken, no show grand,
Simple obligation in lowly disguise.
The rain left, the winds grew light,
But it stayed—a radiant watchman.
And then the heavens began to weep,
A sudden storm, wild and deep.
In urgent hands, it found its call,
Shielding him from the pouring fall.
