Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-daro.
A Poetic Tribute to a Timeless Bronze Figure
In ancient lands of dust and sand
Where Indus River once did span
A people lived, so long ago
Whose art and culture we still know
From Mohenjo-daro, a city lost
Came a figure, at great cost
A girl in bronze, so finely made
Her graceful form forever stayed
She stands, with arms akimbo spread
A dancer frozen, in bronze bed
Her hips, they sway, in fluid motion
A captured moment of pure emotion
The artisans who made her, long since gone
Yet through their work, their spirit lives on
For in this girl, we see their art
A masterpiece, that won't depart
So let us marvel at her grace
And in her beauty, find our place
For though she's silent, she still speaks
A dancing girl, forever unique.
