|| Indian Peregrination || by Laksmisree Banerjee

I AM THE REFULGENT MOTHER

I see you through my translucent third eye
glimmering deep through your lows and highs
nestled in the natural cycle of joys and sighs
am in the radiant sun, moon, tides low and high

The sequinned skies and stars sing my ditty
blazingly perform my incensed lighted Aarti
you may look for my gleaming face in sanctity
in fire, earth, ether, in Nature’s elemental beauty

I change with the seasons yet I am divine stasis
I kill evil but bless the virtuous with holy bliss
I live in the human, the plants, seas and azure
I am the Universal rhythm dancing in loving ire

I am in swirling whirlwinds, the nub of your soul
your iridescence a mirror of my Cosmic Whole
my changing multi-facets reflect your lives
I breathe in your every breath, acts and vibes

I am your baby asleep ensconced in your womb
I am your Mother too to hold you till the tomb
I am the wrath of the storm,, the cool of the blue
the transcendental kaleidoscope of life’s hues

I am invisibly embedded in your hallowed gyre
I save you ever from the demons’ lustful mire
I am your sustenance, creation and annihilation
I am the source, the goal of every regeneration
I am Goddess, Woman, Mother, Love and Fire
I am She, I am He, I am the refulgent Cosmic Power!!!
