   “She awaits her future.” I love that you ended with hope and inspiration!

   That’s really a great picture!
   • Vidya Sury February 19, 2012

     Thanks, Emily. I imagined her as someone just waiting. 🙂 That shop could be hers!
7. Harleena Singh February 18, 2012

   Wonder what she’s waiting for Vidya!May be waiting for the shutter of the shop to open, may be waiting for the day to dawn and people to stop by and give them alms? Truly a picture to think deep about…
   • Vidya Sury February 19, 2012

     Dear Harleena, thanks for your comment. 🙂 I never thought about alms! I was imagining that she owned the shop and had closed for the day 😀 Hugs!

    Hi Vidya,

    My gosh I have not written a Haiku since school days so it was wonderful to be re-acquainted with this beautiful poetry form by your equally beautiful offering.

    Maybe she is simply waiting in joy? (en-joy)

    Thank you for sharing this with us Vidya. 🙂
