The straw hat

The straw hat

The straw hat runaway to sky
Assisted by conspiracy of wind
Finally liberated from constrains of pretty head
She mounted the steps of yonder way too high

Somehow lost in puffy clouds
Behaving like mischievous child
Shaking the rims from side to side
Saluting passing stars ,continued the path

The unconsolable poor girl
Stood searching sky with fragile hope
The straw hat adorned by the many pretty ribbons
Was a token from mother,who passed away not long time ago
