951. Mother, As A Child In Supermarket! …….. In Whirlpool Of Desires! 230208 Poem by Raman Savithiri

Toys, games, little friends - boys and girls not knowing any sex,
Dutiful parents, sisters and brothers, sincere teachers, some nuts,
To be away from artificial things, trees, birds to drive away vex,
To gratify five senses so many gears, logical brain counts as six,

Sea with hugging waves dragging to drench, mountains eye catching,
Plains being vast and green pulling me down to lie for sky watching,
Blossoms of countless varieties in numerous colours bliss hatching,
Twilight prettiness, winking stars endless with my desires matching,

Millions of natural miracles, attracting human soul till elderly age,
Sweet heart, super job, marriage - hunted trap, with kids life voyage,
Position, prestige, lingering caste, happiness external after a mirage,
Assets, shares, shelters, cars, computers… defining destined self cage!

Amma,
Like a child in supermarket myself being in a world of many enticing fun,
Caught in a whirlpool of desires, knowing not what to obtain what to shun,
Look for You to lead me, shelter me as a chick under warm wings of hen,
Kindle faith in Your guidance to accept the things from Your hand divine! 230208
