Everyone is heartbroken
a dream has just stopped being
The world grieves
at the passing over
of a gleam brightest, leading
I am sad
A little statuette I had bought
and brought with love
from Johannesburg
is lost
Everyone writes on a light called Mandela
I look for my lost love
in the dark

Poets such as Madhumita are ever the truest observers of History.
Thank you Louis Kasatkin for your response to this poem.
The little poem was a very spontaneous reaction, from my heart.
