Unchained Ties

by Dr. Madhavi Godavarthy

The silence
After you were gone
Thundering within
The unseen emotion
Bursting forth,
Your absence
Was your presence
Showing itself
In a myriad ways

You have seen
My birth
And I
Your death
My journey continues
Your voyage has just begun

Bound and boundless
We are…
Are we?
On life’s road which
Begins to end
To begin…to end
Again…!

On the life road, we are helpless for birth ,death and reb. th in eighty four lakhs yonies(bodies).A bondage of life & death in a particular circle which is created by God for every creature by His illusion.Person comes in this world,
does his or her providing work & returns to his maker.He or she leaves some
footprints of the best works and memories in our minds for ever.We all are
helpless in front of our destiny.The journey of our belonging person gives us
pains of departure.As someone has said,"Aadmi musaphir hei,aata hei, jata
hei.aate jate raste mei, yaden chhod jata hei." You have depicted your views
on mother so nicely that I couldn't prevent myself to write these lines.Thank
you Mam. Thank you very much for reality blending thoughts about mother.
