Prayers Beneath Veil
she couldn`t sleep at all
alaknanda arrives at dawn
stood she alone there,beautiful and bold
in front of the temple,full of gods and
goddesses
made of stone,made of gold
she shakes,she hesitates
she rings bells--------
offer her flowers red,white,chaste unto the
feet of gods and goddesses to pacify her soul
she wants to ask them of her future
concealed beneath the veil of prayers
and faiths!
alaknanda arrives at dawn
stood there she alone,beautiful,bold
In front of the Temple full of gods and
goddesses,made of stone,made of gold
she shakes,she hesitates
she rings bells-------------
