Fallen from Grace

A little girl played in a garden,
Brown legs peeping from a spotted frock.
She played games of innocence with little men,
Building castles with sand and rock.

A young woman stood at the fence,
All signs of the little girl wrapped in layers of silk.
Her eyes shone with the same innocence,
Even as he tried to capture moments in a click.

She gathered the crumpled sheets around her,
Like broken pieces of her self, they lay.
She shuddered at the reflection in the mirror,
Seeing little of her former self from an older day.

The sari looked radiant as it fell from her shoulders,
There would be a look of envy of every woman's face.
Only she knew that she had lost her precious innocence,
With the fallen sari, she too had fallen from grace!
