Vasant

                Vasant

She did not knock
I listened to her steps

 As silent as the morning hush
 In the winter chill her gracious walk

Fragrance in the air whiffs
As her breath sways the mango stalk

Melancholy loosens its grip
The wind whispers with glee 

Vasant arrives to break the chain
In a swish of winter rain!
