0995.Mata Amritanandamayi-Drama In Trauma Poem by amma and rajappa

The mother is everything - she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness. He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.

Kahlil Gibran
------------------------
Caravan of my thinking eternal in its grinding
Ploughing the terrain of my barren mind
Results in words, from the feast of thy Grace!

“They also serve who only stand and wait”
I am at your door step knocking all the doors
While the moving sea of our love traversing
Between the shores of our souls
Grant me the wisdom to cry for others and
Give me the power to make others laugh!

Sanction these, my Mother,
You seared with scars
Of abuse and maltreatment!

I know my mother! you have commissioned
Those boons! Tears are there, swelling in my eyes
While reading thy story, punctuated with persecution!

------------------------


Being the fourth in the series of thirteen
That too a girl, not a destined heir apparent
In India a country worshipping girls,
Thy birth not even getting declared
Mother you remained the sun
Concealed in the cloud of ignorant around!

Special child you were my Mother indeed
Made your feet walk on this earth
At the end of those six months of thy earthly years
Without any preamble making others gape
Blossomed thy mouth stunning your then near!

In the dew of thy prayers at the end of full two years,
Ye mother found the morning of your soul’s fill
Refreshing the creatures in the simple hymns of your lover
Krishna, the skillful thief of many a loving heart
Grading your self higher in composing at four!

Dark blue colour turning dark brown
Becoming the reason of distain
Derided by all making you the servant
Making a tragedy ever enacted upon this earth
Nobody caring to go to the carves of your sorrow
Targeting the colour oblivious of thy heart!
