Parched earth cries for help
empty skies, empty tears-
miserly monsoon.

pause awhile, reflect
rest weary mind, aching limbs,
vacant bench beckons
vacant bench beckons

DeleteBoth reflect a melancholy somewhere.Nice take, Reshma. It is praiseworthy that you could travel this much and so no intricacy in reaching the dead end. I couldn't continue because I cannot sit with my system as I wish.So I had to delete this item from my wish list.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarala, it has been a real challenge and I'm still lagging behind, hopefully I'll complete it.
