Woman

______________________________________

• Woman, your life pot is heavy;
• Your limbs are weak and tired;
• You covered a long distance;
• With a thirst and hunger at last;
• The way is long and the dusty;
• All got scattered in the wind;
• Look, the silent lake is deep;
• Full with pure water and love;
• Banks are sloping and tender with grass
• Dip your tired feet into the cold water;
• Wash your face; noon tide wind will
• Pass its fingers through your hair;
• The leaves of the tress will murmur;
• The secrets that nestle in the shadows.
