Epochs of Womanhood

Epochs of womanhood 1 VIRGIN With malar flushes, Causelessly she blushes, In solitude, to herself she smiles, While walking, aimlessly she tarries. With a startled look, Whom does she seek? 2 YOUTH Her blue eyes, Reminiscent of skies, Her golden hair seem, Akin to a bright solar beam, Her limbs tender, Her waist slender. Nature bares the Truth Of full-blown-flower of Youth! 3 MOTHERHOOD Her grown up face, Bears a thoughtful grace. Her warm bosom, Awaits to welcome, A wanted guest, On her laps to rest, Restless, though happy she seems, As her heart broods fairy dreams. Her speech sweeter from the lapse of years- With a wife's love, and a mother's fears! 4 MENOPAUSE Rapturous youth and tranquil prime, Withered with a weird dream! Her gray hair and lusterless skin, Fading from her eyes a resplendent shine, Her flabby shriveled breast, She walks with waddling and antalgic gait. Alas! It's dusk of her womanhood, It's menopause! A hush in solitude!! Dr.Hemant Vinze
