Me The River-First Steps Poem by Suresh Kumar EK

I was born in a rocky hill
Rather a cave, low lights.
When I was in the womb
I heard my mother singing
Lullabies, passionate, loving.


I heard her, talking me again
And again not to kick her
Be soft my dear, be soft.


I listened to her dreams
Her expectations, complaints
Her passions, love, everything.
Her heartbeat was the rhythm
Opened my eyes to the world.

.
I was so helpless within,
Cant move without her help
I sucked her, the blissful nectar
Gave me, life and growth forever.


Jiggling, smiling swaying, falling
Stumbling, sitting, finally standing.
I made my way to my little steps
Mother earth was always perfect
Together with father nature, caring
Me beyond all the expectations.
