He stood there with an elegant smile

My daughter chirped happily

"We have come".

Facing east, he stood there.

A Landmark - ensuring peace and happiness.

Seconds away it happened...

Shattered he was strewn around

The strewn petals spreading fragrance

a fragrance of non-violence in guise!!

Limp thoughts gallop ahead

With strain I pull the rein!

"Oh!" She reflects softly.

"Can we now find our way home?"
