A Flower To Auroville Mother-6 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Semparuthi(Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Shoe-flower,
Japa Kusuma)

You cast yourself apart in a divine space..
An erythro-symbol of the Goddess of Genesis
You cast yourself apart in a caste special
Intercasted is innumerably opalizing visual

So crowned you are to crown us extravagant
So profound we feel in locks and eyes relaxant
So renowned you are in our blood stream extreme
So inbound we are to your sanative regime, gleam

Japa, sway in gentle mode of scentless secret
Refining yourself unto Lord's feet in trust
Semparuthi, sway in gentle mode of silent secret
With Zephyr your leafed stalks too, we to benefit
