Is this premonition of love that I’ve witnessed?
I
A man whose heart remains scathed
As he recapitulates his serenade
On his never ending voyage of new horizons
Resurrecting those last words his lover said
In between the rhythm of his heartbeats
Where she remained,
Midst the verses of his songs
II
Beside him, an impetuous lad;
In a bus with a camera
This young gypsy boy in a caravan,
Watching the sunset
Leaning on the tinted window
Waiting for the perfect shot to be captured;
Of an old lady waving back at him,
The panoramic view of lavenders
Blooming all over the meadow
III
The old lady;
Who’s a treasure of experience and a muse of old era
Waving at the caravan
‘bye-bye, bye-bye’
IV
The artistic boy with a mosaic idea
Who wanted to exhibit his canvas with the old lady’s smile
He is immersed in his art when he caught a glimpse of her;
A young girl
Who’s also stealing glances at this boy
Only to be swayed by the thought of first love,
Approaching towards her
As a blessing in disguise

What a lovely sweet poem. I like that in your country, older women are revered, rather than made invisible like in the US.

I feel a woman is charming in each stage of her life, with age her elegance and virtue shapes her beautiful character. We always find people, everywhere, all around the world who suppress her individuality and question her life choices. But we also find people who respect her, for her contributions and appreciates her courageous demeanour.
There are such people, good people, who’ll take a stand for her and never make her feel invisible.
And I believe such people are present everywhere, still fighting to give her justice and equality.
