My Mother – Delhi Poetry Slam

My Mother

By Ballaleshwar Tela

Daybreak, she wakes up.
Let it be summer, winter, or any season.
A soul imprisoned,
But in routine chores - trump.

No ambition she knows.
For no pretensions, she believes. 
From spirit she lives,
Strives in kindness, she grows. 

She, a godly person.
Praying to Gods always.
Moves, she swifts in the ‘maze’, 
Care smitten.

Her love, endless and unparalleled. 
Not just for us, but gods and children.
Gales - Wizened, 
Yet in harmony she dwells. 

More and more I realize, 
Her care and her sameness, every day. 
For her I pray,
And beauty, sans synthetic, she symbolizes.
