the umbrella woman

The umbrella woman
She is so cool under the sun
Standing on her queue waiting for her turn
Looking at the polling station
Waiting for the time to cast her vote

The hot sun rises
In the morning light
Piercing through the bare skin
Yet she holds her umbrella
Waiting patiently for her turn

In the end she shares her shade
With a man waiting like her on the row
They begin to talk sharing some common issues
As they wait for their turn to vote
Now the sun is in hot piercing eyes

When their time up to vote
They go separate way and never contact
The man can’t forget the umbrella woman
He puts up an advertisement trying to find her
It is blowing by the wind

Maybe she is from overseas
Returning home to do her duty for change
The man is still hopeful he will get to meet her again
But the time has gone, the moment in memory

The umbrella woman
She is so cool under the sun
She strokes a man’s imagination
Hoping to meet her again
But the time has gone, the moment in memory
