THE SACRED ASHES
Suddenly Stormed
Little giggles
Set on fire
Tiny laughters
Little giggles
Set on fire
Tiny laughters
Numb fingers
Collecting
Burnt pieces
Frozen hands
Alll Ashes
Collecting
Burnt pieces
Frozen hands
Alll Ashes
Still life
Standing at a distance
Spreading arms
Calling
The mutely wailing children
Smearing ashes
On their foreheads
Caressing the Innocents
Wiping the silent tears
Taking a leaf from
Ancient Scriptures
"Oh my little ones !
Life ends with ashes
Rises too
With ashes
As Sacred as
The holy waters
Of Ganges "
