love in times of explosions

all through the wrinkled night
the image of a woman, man and child
as they maddeningly raced away
while explosions flashed
behind them haunted me
the child had mix of joy and fear in his eyes
he was enjoying the fury, and fear
reflected in the eyes of people around him
the woman resolved to take her man and
child away from danger and threat
the man displayed grit to shelter
and protect his woman and child


here was love in the times of explosions
this we saw in mumbai, lahore, delhi, karachi
love calms and counters hatred
love rises above genders, race, religion
