While it was raining heavily outside, 
Two children in shabby, tattered dress
Stormed into our glass roofed patio
And at the door, for mercy did pause

My Lost Legacy

At the land’s end I stand, like my ancestors of Indus-Valley
Looking for my lost legacy, while the tri-sea emitted in hue
Dishes once prepared for celestial wedding but poured in adieu
