She Walks On Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

She walked with fire-wood bundle on head
Gasping climbed: blushing cheeks; red eyed
Sweat as pearls from her forehead dribbled
Still, she walked with ease, so I saw ahead
A journey much gloomy, ladies from the past
Through the eternal foot-path destined to tread.
She through in suffering walked and walked
To please all, day and night as moonlit night.

The God made Eve to please Adam lonely
Adam shared her sins made by her folly
Eating fruit of the forbidden tree shameful
Drew the wrath of the Creator so merciful
He cursed and blessed with the life painful
That made us, still, much worried and joyful.
