Solitary Dreamer

Solitary Dreamer:

Drawing by Hema Radhakrishnan, Rodding, Denmark 

Look at her, Alone in the Bed
This solitary Denmark Girl

Sleeping and thinking by herself

Browse here, or kindly view
Alone she dreams and collects the thoughts
And controls a nostalgic train;
O listen! to the Girl profound
Silence suppressing the sound.

This girl first sang
Inviting loved ones to her land,

To show Wind mills in farm lands
In the midst of European ‘Langue’

Calmness clearly heard
In Autumn from this little bird

Conveying the oceans of sorrow
Which cuts through the closed window

To assign words to her expressive arrow

I don’t want to wait for morrow

It is probably the Pakistani girls woes
Praying for her survival and safety
Which rattles girls her age

Or is it some face book comments
The popular pasttime of the day!
Some  Likes, comments, Pictures
Which is posted and viewed upon

Whatever the reason, the girl depicts
Unhappiness and sorrow

 In her incessant chain of thoughts;

I don’t see her weeping or crying
Over the chequered happening

And, as I chewed my thoughts
Her resolve gave way to my hope.
May be, I will see her smiling soon!
