The Lost Girl

a poem by Rajendra Raj Khare

When shadows get tall
And they leave in evenings
When the night closes in-
“n” wraps itself on the awnings
Under yellow lights
In those magical moments
I found a lost girl…
Her body abused
Her thoughts like a shattered crystal
Trying to find her way
In the labyrinths of life-
I found a lost girl…

Tear drops in her eyes
Dried up into whiteness
Her dreams dying in the darkness
She looked around–
And walked with me
I found my life
I found a lost girl
In the labyrinths of life–
I found a lost girl…

Like a blade of grass
Trembling in the air
She walked with me
And made me strong
To live on…
Under yellow lights,
In those magical moments
I found a lost girl…
