She walks in my dreams

With the charm of a faraway land

Where she lived life

Within the arms of nature

Draping her saree 

In the traditional way

She walks to the spring

Carrying  pots of clay

As if going on a pilgrimage, in her 70s.

Climbing that rocky terrain 

A synchronized balance on a hip and head.

Always barefooted.

Her betel-nut pouch firmly

Tucked in the folds of her sari

Those steep steps, eroded with time.

Marked with her footprints.

For half a century the rocky path kissed her feet.
