vermilion on her head
she looked into my poets eyes
a broken wrist holding a camera
as i shot her childhood her youth
her motherhood complete and nice
holding her together chahth maiya
goddess of hope harmony
safeguarding her in mumbai
a glistening tear of gratitude
fell from her eye as i write this
my eyes too are filled with an ocean
within a human sigh we live
through our children we never die
our culture our traditions our rituals
our humility our hospitality
to gods goddesses
as befitting reply
on wings of hope harmony
on the karmic consciousness
of mother india
as we fly
a muslim blogger
a bihari ma a bihari bhai
