As the embers of the wrenching memories fade away br As the evening star falls from grace br As the intoxication of the beloved's moon disappears in the day br As the Sun scorches with his face br She breaks into a frenzied laugh br Laugh of madness br Laugh of pain br br When the morning rays pierce her lonely heart br When the moonlight enters her wreathing breast br When her whole being laments from each part br When her world is sinking in her small nest br She breaks into a piercing cry br Cry of longing br Cry of loss br br As a distant door shuts yet another opens br As the grieving night breaks into twilight br As the snake sheds the old and dons a new skin br As the blind gets bedazzled with divine light br She understands in a flash br Life reawakens br Life renewsbr br Renu Rakheja a.k.
