@ Madame Tussauds.... Poem by ratnaprabha raykar

Stepping into the hall of glitterati
I stand bemused
with whom? with whom do I click pics?
flashing bulbs, clicking shutters
the atmosphere electric
each one greater than the other
me, filled with joy and wonder

Sharing frames with heroes I admire
some very well-known to me
some my children's heroes
some I had heard of
Most of them loved universally

A thought crosses my mind...
do I dare share frame with them?
their deeds..so great!
not so mine!
the visit humbles me
prodding me to carve a niche for myself
among those I love...however small
