Maya …The very word is in sync
With enigma on our lands
As enigmatic as thy voice sounds
In thine words; as profound
And as magnetic thy
Verse appeal to us.
As thy have grown high
In stature and been in infinite
As a beaming bright star
In the poetical universe,
You'd peep down at times
And see the hand that's
Going cravious for the craft,
As one's appetite goes starving.
What moved thine mind
I may never know….
And what's moving in ones mind
Hope you'll ever know….
What was the grit that thy did
Armor as thine spirit,
And what was the pain
That didst much motivate,
Thy words woo us as
Much as the melancholic impulse; that
Leave us baffled with the brains behind.
To such a great spirit of endurance
Who could inspire with a poetical wand
I have my gratitude penned.
As the poetical spirit varies nowhere, I've my few words
Unto thee, for- being part of my poetical family.
