Choked with emotions, brimming with memories and suffused
with thoughts of my very beautiful mother, I pen a few lines as a tribute to
her on this very first Mother’s Day, without getting to hear her voice any
more. I lost a part of me, my best friend and confidante on 20th October 2013.
The ache to feel her presence is beyond words… Call it a eulogy or a mere
doodle, it’s what I’ve summed in words for you, Mummy!
Long live, Mother
I yearn to visit the land of summers
Where the air is clement
And the sun, unceasing bright
Where there are blossoms of life
Intense and bright, warm and tight
Is that an Atlantis?
A flight of imagination?
Or, the fairylands?
Not until I bade adieu to your arms
Did fantasy turn a fore time reality?
Where the choicest blossom
Was your love, a luminous hue
An elixir nurturing
lives
And brought forth a floret
That blooms alike its creator.
A self-akin that tassels out
The love that came its way,
Kindles a flame alike, warm n bright
Who else, but I, a mother myself
Radiates the warmth once absorbed.
Creators and creations beat the drum,
Feast and fete devotedly this Mother's Day
When, to you, sweet Mother
I solemnly offer a bounty of love
Not seared by distance, nor blurred by time
