(28 October / Lucknow (U.P.) India)

poet Mahfooz Ali
What do you think this poem is about?

She was mother

As I look back at over the years,

I thought that we had it all

people that glanced, envied us.

we were the perfect family

or at least the illusion of one.


Then, our glass house shattered.

and our world crumbled.

The shimmering light of the house

had fallen...

into the web of heaven,

She was lost....

She was mother.
