O beautiful mother!: A poem 

Love is an expanse of selflessness 

Amazing duty was the fabric of your dress 

Self-identity is only but a toy 

What you made of us was your joy 

The hearth is never hungry where faith is kept 

Dinner was always ready before we slept 

You never questioned why fate’s white moon has brown 

You knew that a feather can weigh as much as a crown 

There is a fortress in every grain of memory 

Nectar is relic in every spoonful of honey 

Knuckles may be worn out, but they leave behind 

their soul in every vessel that they shine 

Lights can never dim where love is the wire 

The wood never burns out in the lifelong fire 

The soul is vapour, turning to rain another day 

The potter’s glory is in the way he shaped his clay

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
