In You Dark Daughter Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

In You Dark Daughter

Rating: 3.5


In you dark daughter,
See I Kali, Bahgabati, Chandika, Shankari,
In you,
See I Bihula
Lying with the snake-bitten body
Of her husband, Lakhinder
And praying.

Goddess Kali is dark,
Dark you,
Dark the world,
The night of Creation,
How to relate to darkness
Encircling, dark daughter?

Kali, Dark Goddess,
With the tongue out of
In shame or anger
As for slaying
The demons and devils
Or trampling Siva
Under feet.

Her Divine Lila,
I do not, I do not,
Understand it,
Siva with the dead body of Sati
Unable to calm down and compose Himself,
Ruffled by pain and distress
Walking madly,
How to see, how to see it,
You say it,
Dark daughter?

Different systems of worship exists in Indian mythologies and spirituality and one among them is Kali. Darkness or dark color is also important the poem mentions and it is beautiful.
