Land ======== A green pasture. A sheaf of harvest is on her head, balanced in the way you know. A lock of coarse hair, boisterous and light brown obstructing her eyes. Seen her through a glass, a moving window of a train, fast disappearing backwards. Beyond recognition, beyond care. A vow to comeback to these verdant paddocks as if a promised land has just been found. The destination is a city. At night the avenues, roads and street throb with light. Electricity. A small veranda overlooks them all. The stale memory sneaks in. A promised land is there always, a harvest to be touched firsthand. clever talks delay friendship! |

Dear Ku, this is simply perfect! The longing for beauty ... Incredibly beautiful scenery described with such mastery that it won't be forgotten for long. Love, Margherita  |

Ohhh, this is lovely, Poddarku. I read it 3 times, sinking deep into it, each time. It could almost have been about South Africa, though I realise that it probably is about India. - Owl [This message has been edited by OwlSA (08-16-2008 01:47 PM).] |
