And She Arrived.....

  She paced up and down   As the walls watched in silence   The calm, an anathema   To the storm within   The cheery marigolds   Strung along the walls   Did a merry tango   To the tune of swaying breeze   Don't we lend an air of cheer   The marigolds seemed to say   Things will go off without a hitch   So, why the fear ? She looked all around   The images of palaces and   Kings and queens and elephants   With horses for good measure   All seemed to tell her   Things will go off without a hitch   So, why the fear ? Her eyes followed the fairy lights   To the place where the stage was set   Sacred fire burnt high   Against the backdrop of chanting hymns   Seemed to tell her   Things will go off without a hitch   So , why the fear ? Soon it was time   For the much awaited event   As the bride and the groom   Promised a lifetime of togetherness   She heaved a sigh of relief and joy   A great start, it sure was   The bride and the groom could vouch alas It might have been the first wed
