The Old Lady

Here’s an enigmatic portrayal of an old lady by Monika, for Different Truths.

Her eyes,

like an ocean

calm and composed

One could

sense them,

carry all the pain,

that

the whole world holds.

They clearly flaunted

her weakness,

her fears

and the huge

storm

of those

uncried tears.

Keeping aside

All that she

held inside,

She still

managed to

smile.

The old lady

Kept walking miles

after miles.
