Twinkling Sun

[Written in Class IX]

What would befall us if
The sun starts twinkling?
Seconds of sharp illumination,
Alternated by deep darknesses;
People using twinkling lamps
That glow during the dark seconds
And switch off at sunlit moments.
Eventually sleep belonging
To daytime, and Schooling
And Job to the even night.
Birds having hell as though
An eclipse recurs too oft.
Nursery rhymes shifting to
'Twinkle twinkle biggy sun,
How I wonder where you run,
Up above the world so high,
Like a tubelight in the sky.'
In spite of these I am sure,
Somewhere, now, light years away,
Peculiar heads are looking up
At the night sky to behold
Our Sun, a dot among dots,
Twinkle via atmospheric strata...
