On a midsummer evening
while travelling through the chaos
of the bustling city; I found a figure
looming around in the dark corners
of a lonely street; upon gazing
properly I found this fascinating
face of Glory amongst the faceless…
Introductory was exchanged and a
lively conversation began; unable to
hold my curiosity any further
I finally asked: What happened?
and she casually replied: nothing much
Her tongue lied, but not her eyes
so, I calmly changed the subject…
Days passed and then months,
but everything changed except her:
I tried to look past it but couldn’t
so, I gathered the courage to ask
her once again and my efforts
were fruitful this time; she opened
her melancholy, her happiness,
her experiences and her glory as well…
