She entered the temple hall
white frock and jasmine flowers
black walls and incense sticks
raising her hands upto the sky
indirectly she said "amma*, please hold me high"
with palms together, she looked ahead
not knowing what she was seeing
a belief that was innocent
minutes later they walked out
into the surroundings held by the wall
horizon trying to eat the orange ball
she looked down and surprise!
a mythical figure had taken her side
confused but not afraid, she stood
thoughts in her mind of different kinds
three steps to the right
the dark friend was still by her side
three steps to the left
and nothing had changed
suddenly amma lifted her
and the dark friend was gone
she wondered where
* amma - tamil word meaning mom
