A Child Beggar Poem by ritty patnaik

a girl child,
begging in the rain,
thinks of herself
as a princess
when fast asleep,
in her dreams.

young eyes,
speak of,
shadow of time,
yet has seen,
the ego of clouds,
pouring
, into her
dishevelled hair.

she has seen,
the forest fire in the jungle,
and also seen,
the lost youth of flowers,
taken by hungry bees,

the back bone
mountains, .are
silent in words
while on the otherside
very far away,
the sea makes i
its presence felt.

her hair suddenly,
touched my face,
and saddened my heart,
filling my heart with
commotion of feelings
for her.

then i realised
forever, i will
be a stranger,
roaming
and searching for her
in myself.

on the mountains
the cloud covered all.
her soul was dancing alone
and also her innocense!
making myself ask,
why her? ?
