We have an assignment for tomorrow's chyk class either on 'Mother' or 'Navaratri'. I wrote the following as my contribution. Honestly, it's written with 'Father' in mind though.
Here's the poem 'Mother, Welcome!'
There are secrets between you and me
Which you and I know….
In the interesting concept of space
Along with the unbending routes of time
You encouraged me to explore Life
In the combinations of myriad of colours
Along with the sounds to jabber
You ladled my mood swings to grow
The world in different conundrums
Zoomed in front of my being
And I was in the grip of emotional myopia
While I waited for my lost mother
To forgive me for the acts that deserved one
You hugged me in my dreams with love
In the silent chambers of inner space
I remembered the roles you’ve donned
To teach me the gospels of truth
The new chapters of Life opened all too sudden
To experience your divine love
In every colour and sound that touched me
Now....
Every day is blessed and beautiful
For I come to you running
To talk while you listen in patience
There will surely come a time
When you walk towards me to talk
While I abide in silence
I shall wait for that moment
To break my silence with
‘Divine Mother, Welcome!’
Yes, I remember now….
It was your extraordinary radiance
Against the silhouettes of space-time
That first captivated my innocent baby eyes
Indeed, there can be no secrets between you and me
Which you and I know….
