She and He

she sauntered around - up the greenest hill
 he happily joined her, learning anew
 she always stayed healthy, he often ill -
 Proteas on Drakensberg Mountain, pink hue
 he failed to see pink, tinges of red, blue
 she could talk a prayer, God and nations
 he heard her, meandering around his pains
 he could not forget his failed marriage, ex
 she seemed blessed with many sing-song refrains
 he, surfeit within with love, needs, regrets

Dear Poet, I am new to your page. This is the first poem I chose to read. What I understand - she and he, although opposites, compliment each other, as usually in reality happens. Thank you for dropping by and reading my humble poem - I am touched that my poem reminded you of your mother. Best wishes ~ Mala

She is giving him the gift of healing and renewal, they seem to be opposites but that is needed for balance~

Dear Anil - I will not touch this entry with meaningless commentary from me. There is nothing I could add. Please allow me to let this entry stand with your own thoughts and meaning. The only comment from me is that your words speak. Have a wonderful night. Remain safe. Love and Blessings always. Namaste and Shalom (smile)
