VARANASI Picture no 292
























A place to relax and rest,
Put aside your work and stress,
Just read and close your eyes,
Dream till morning sunrise,

Watch the butterflies,
Dance from flower to flower,
Count the birds,
New come every hour,

Click the boats passing by,
The white Siberian ducks,
Some stray dogs, wonder why,
Food is sheer good-luck,

Wondering what you see,
Its LIME-VILLA VARANASI.
