Chirag Chaitanya
Out of the blue
You make your presence felt,
Smitten by cold,
Have glimpse of the sun occasionally sprouting;
No darkness dare dance.
Cracks in your bosom,
Fettered wounds oozed,
Numbed!
Patience, perseverance and compassion you are.
You embrace good,
Accept the evil,
Calm tsunamis,
And sow the seed of life: MOTHER!
Evergreen,
You forget to remember the ‘Self’
Find ‘God’ in garbage
And make ‘him’ known to the world.
YOU: fire in one hand
Water in the other!
Let flames spark and rise!
Let water flow in tides!
YOU: the universe within
O Mother !
