Welcome, Ma... Poem by Jasbir Chatterjee
Welcome, Ma...
Ma is back home
This year too in 2020.
With many loved ones
Passed away,
Succumbed to Corona virus,
So many homes
Submerged in darkness,
We're glad to be alive
To welcome her,
To be inspired again
By her strong, Divine Presence
In our midst…
Ma is back home
This year too in 2020.
With the crowds staying away,
Alone and lonely, she stands in the pooja pandals.
On the screens of our laptops and cell phones
We watch the pooja rituals,
While our puzzled Ma looks back.
Maintaining a safe distance,
Unable to hug our loved ones,
We stand in the pandals,
Our tense, tight-lipped smiles
Hidden behind our masked faces.
So thoughtful and sensible. Scene of pooja pandals which used to witness a bevy of festive activity during this season in previous years, is sober, serene and composed this time. The portrayal of Maa Durga under these pandemic circumstances is quite emotional. Thanks, Jasbir ji.
Divine presence of Goddess Maa Durga we feel. With her unlimited love and power she will expel the Devil like Corona and many diseases and vices. She will destroy demonic forces. Maintaining a safe distance, we are offering prayer to her. Goddess Mother will protect us. We are wishing you very happy Navaratri and Durga Puja. This poem is excellently penned...5 stars..
many loved ones Passed away, Succumbed to Corona virus, So many homes Submerged in darkness, We're glad to be alive To welcome her, in context of the realities of life. faith, prayer, hope, God and love. tony
