Dumbstruck-Dk
A few days back I visited an old time friend
To travel down the memory lane on a week end
As we spent the quality time over high tea
The evening passed us by on a lively spree
While leaving I inquired about their daughter, Suhash
Her mother said she was busy with paint and brush
Being interested in painting I wanted to see
How much accomplished in this art she might be
I saw the young girl sitting upright a bit tense
Arranged in front were paint tubes in VIBGYOR sequence
The brush in her hand made strokes rather unsurely
I thought because she was in a room lit very poorly
Her mother said to her daughter destiny hadn’t been kind
In her world darkness didn’t matter for she was blind
In color she dreamt her dreams she would paint
Until in darkness they dissolved and became faint
Looking at the girl and her painting I was dumbstruck
Felt sorry life had proffered a young girl such a bad luck.
