What she wanted

That which causes

Gazzelles to increase

In the midst of predators

Makes a hunter penetrate thick forests

Makes ordinary men fight big fishes

That is the courage she wanted

Silent and solemn mood

That pilgrimage offers

The consolation of stares into the sea

Ease of a waterfall that is soothing to the mind

Its the kind of peace she was desperate for

To be blind to her present life

Forget the divorce certificate

Assume her emanciated body was healthy

And be comfortable with debts she owed

Every flower withers

New gets old

Black hair grows grey

Like a bereaved heartily griefs

Thinking of single motherhood

She was no better

Medics were happy

To inform her people

Of the eternal rest she attained

What she wanted was always with her

If she atleast talked to someone....
