11 Mother Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
11 Mother
The picture
of a mother
standing guard
to the carcass
of her baby
for hours
without
moving a limb
without
food and water.
How soft
a heart
the pachyderm
hides
in her
thick
dark
hide!
eyes welled
throat parched
I sat before
the TV,
my heart
heavy
like a millstone.

While watching a science program, I witnessed the grief of a baby elephant, whose mother was killed. The other herd members comforted the baby. It really tugged at my heartstrings. Elephants are very close knit. Love is the universal language. Great poem!
Evelyn, as you said, love is The Universal Language, and Mother's love lasts. First watchers in the Western Ghats, India say that they have seen mother elephants returning to watch the mere skeletal remains of their cubs for years.
Some African tribesmen have reported to have witnessed "rituals" of the elephants group, when one in the group dies.
