Poem -13
She
By Khursheed Wani
Like the drops of the wind,
She descends from unseen hills,
Carrying my dreams across the vale,
Shielding my secrets like the clouds sail.
Like the rhythmic verse,
She descends with a soft melody,
She meets me in a sacred space,
Where time stands still,
And we dance in the quiet night.
