Waiting For The Blessings Poem by Ami Joshi

Once,
She peeked through the window with a white veil,
Hid herself from the folks....

Once,
She was smouldering in the noon.
Behind her grey quilt,
And glanced at me,
With her damp eyes...

Once,
She was under the juniper,
Eating berries and potatoes,
Was aware of the cruel world,
Stole a smile from my heart...

Once,
She knitted a smile of black and white,
with a fragrance of pain in her heart,
Waiting for the symphony to appear,
Was swinging on the broken swing....

Soon,
Heard the lullaby of an orphan child,
Slept under the juniper,
With a sigh of pain...

Waiting For The Blessings...
