Are You There? Poem by Sonali Ganguly

Are You There?

Rating: 3.3


Are you there in the morning Sun?
That wakes me up from my slumber deep,
Reminds me of your tender touch,
And some unknown pain makes me weep.

Are You there in the blowing breeze?
That brushes my hair and wipes the drop of tear,
Embraces me tight in its unseen arms,
Reminds me of your kisses and motherly care.

Are you there in the shining star?
That peeps through my window every night.
Lightens my way in the darkest eve,
As if you, holding me to help, overcome the fright.

I know not where you are now,
Maybe somewhere in the far oblivion.
I miss you in every step I take,
Reminds me of your words- "Life must move on"

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Mother's presence by your side is like the presence of divinity, a strength that never lets you fell weak, never let you cry...
Her absence makes me feel my life barren, lonely and pathetic... I miss her badly but it is hard to realize that she won't ever come back again.... miss you maa

Yes life must move on, yet it moves back a bit in memories and nostalgia. A poem on mother very feelingly penned.

Pearls are the tears of a daughter who is missing her mother and the poem is a garland of pearls.
