Women
Drops of perspiration adorned her brow
She kept running fast behind the rainbow
Her steps faltered and sight blinded
By the multitude of colours that shimmered
She stretched out her hands to touch it
But it disappeared leaving behind nothing but mist
She stood there looking at the sky
And at the giant banyan tree with its branch rising high
Far away she heard the song of some unknown bird
Soulfully beckoning a mate and longing to be cared
She stood mesmerized then turned around
And walked, back to her home, her child, sleeping sound
She looked at her and again found the rainbow
This time on her little daughters serene white brow
right from my heart ..
