She lingers still in memory  ( guardian)

                 Tall in silk green sari,

                 her gait is  elegant,

                 merges with green lawn,

                 reading poetry in the leaves,    

                 upfronting grass, looking

                for a talisman in stem

                brooding for   safe   entourage,

                her flawless body sings a

                soulful melody like Lucy.

               Cool rain showers from above

               reaching pattern less void

                envisaged ere long -  months ago

                a dream, new fulfilling life,

                what  a pleasant  gift in offing.

           She moves along, her recital of poem

           touching there and here. Her   nimble

           feet bracketing in turns and twists.
