Kans grass under a turquoise sky: image source here |
I saw her
Tip toeing
In her deep turquoise sari
Embroidered all over
With white fleecy clouds
I saw her
Drinking
Dewdrops from leaves and grass
blades
And hanging out the feathery
banners
Of Kans grass on the river banks
I saw her
Wiping off
The salty sweat of weary workers
And loosening their fetters of
duty
On their busy fields
I saw her
Weaving
Joy in every heart for
celebration
Of the coming festive season
Her Sheuli garland, lotus petals
sing fragrant songs
