I know a girl who is like a white rose in the vast garden of sunflowers – soothing to the eyes and calming to the heart. Amidst the chaos of this world, her presence feels like a sweet, melodious music. She is like that one drop of water which makes a thirsty feel like he has won the whole universe.

She might walk alone, but she is never lonely. When the world chases luxurious things, she finds immense happiness in little things. She dances like a child when someone returns even the smallest gesture of kindness. She admires the white moon amidst black clouds. She cares for innocent animals. She loves to spend time with nature as if those mountains have some past relation with her soul. She loves to dance in the first rain just as a peacock loves, as if every drop of rain purifies her soul. She is like a white pigeon that loves to spread her wings fully across the blue sky. She is like that poetry if anyone listens it, cannot help but fall in love.  

She is marked by people having a “different face”, but I see her as the unique one with the purest soul. People hurt her by their words, yet she chooses to soothe the whole world with her kindness. She is the first ray of sunlight that vanishes all the darkness. She is that one ray of hope that appears when the heart feels detached from the world. Her eyes are deep oceans that never hesitates for once to give away each and every drop of itself. She is like that white angel with whom life itself feel like a dream. 

One day, life itself will feel like the heaven with her. 

One day they asked me, “Do you know her?” I replied, “She is the one known to everyone, but acknowledged by none. She is the one seen by everyone but heard by none.”
