She...stands like a reflection in still waters.
Distant. Solemn.
Medusa's hair, floating like carefree wavelets,
Engulfs all yesterdays and tomorrows
She...stares, who knows where
Those empty sockets bereft of dreams
Absorb sun rays of infant delight like
Frivolous promises of unshaken faith
She... speaks not a word
For, what is speech
But random spewing of unnecessary sounds
Sans meaning, sans occasion
She...stands there quietly
Looking on and on,
Till the rough grey stones - all melt away
To merge with a fluorescent ball on a dusty footpath
After so many days....
