With her eyes open wide
had been keeping lied
barely could utter a word
carrying tons of
emotional suppression
Struggling for her life
With deep heavy breaths
As if what buried deep
in her mind and heart
left neither spoken
Nor conveyed
I got devastated to realise
the pure soul
transforms into light,
merges into air
rest all in despair
The day revealed me
real essence of ‘I’
that vanished away
‘a body’ was the residue
with no senses but revelation
Left were deep scars and wounds
She borne with full determination
DEATH is the undeniable burglar
can’t be slaved behind bars
Acknowledged the reality,
I felt helpless and abandoned
I screech and squeal
Nevertheless ,All turned futile
The Love, the laughter
echoed once loud
replaced with immense
mourning sound
The fragrance of love, emotions and togetherness be vibrant
till she survived in
What was once known
A HOME
Now it shattered
into nothing but
A framework of
bricks and mortar
the outcome of
her departure
I witnessed her journey
From Earth to Heaven
Days passed by
Months passed by
Owing to bereavement
I could sense Its presence
even in Her absence
Time and again I grow older
with challenges and hindrance
Never missed a chance
to ask for her
support and guidance
With profound faith
to get her assistance
overcome the encumbrance
further last in
one way communication
with the heavenly spirit
that ends up with
my awakened senses
Waiting for devotions to get noticed
and reside in resilience
I could sense It's presence
even in Her absence
My supplication ultimately
approaches the free soul
Now I witnessed Its journey
from ‘ Heaven to Earth’
Seemed to be a festive occasion
She presented me a gift of tradition
While I sleep like a baby
Days passed by
Months passed by
I could sense Its presence
even in Her absence
No sooner rituals for the holy soul done
She comes up with a confession
‘After a period
of fourteen years,
I experience a phenomenal pure bliss”
While I sleep like a baby
Days passed by
Months passed by
Time and again
I could sense Its presence
in Her absence,
much stronger than ever
This time She
whispers me,
“My child ,
Where do you feel
stuck in life?”.....
While I sleep like a baby
Her concern healed
within my core
One bright day
the pure soul once again
brings the transformation
and reinvigorates outlook
eventually bless me
A DREAM _ HOME
surrounded with all
love, kindness
peace and gratitude,
while I sleep like a baby
I reveal HER as
A real ‘DONNA’;
A great inspiration
throughout my life journey
deserve true reverence
from me and
Her treasures
Although
In worldly words
She’s been my
Ma_ in _ law
On the contrary
expand Her identity
When…….
She made me feel as
Mother Universe
Still alive in me
can never ever
be replicated,
lighten my life
with all Her presence
The Divine Comforter,
being the true Saviour
None other than
One and the only
VIJAY LAKSHMI
I witnessed Her journey
from Heaven to Earth.
