The Moon - Mā

by tahirih-boodhoo

For the Moon ..and the night sky was bright without a sharp glare... The 5 pointed stars were uncountable- Glowing, beaming, The Moon's radiance touched your heart- Effulgent, calming, unspeckled, Mesmerizing like none other, Allowing your soul- to remember its source. You could gaze upon the sky and have all your questions answered, You become brave, willing for the next phase- Knowing that Mā would always be your guiding light. Her water alone sustains you And sprouts green tulasi to energize you She keeps you grounded Yet lets you soar without any wings Use your imagination- For She always believes in your word Of Pure Intentions and Lets you exercise control of your own Wishing that all her offspring awaken Waiting For them to stop dreaming- ...They had sunken- Deeper and deeper in the illusion Enticed by temporary pleasures; -Of the eye that seeks to admire it all, Forgetting to watch their step upcoming -Of the tongue that wishes to taste it all, Forgetting the one taste above them all -Of the skin that wishes to feel it all, Forgetting the hands meant for nurturing -Of the ear that wishes to hear rhythm , Forgetting to listen To the sounds of existence -Of the lips that wish to express emotion Forgetting to speak With only tender affection -Of the nostrils that wish to enjoy fumes Forgetting the air, like water must be odorless and tasteless, without colour. The offsprings, Are Buried by the pleasures- Yet like all our mothers- Mā patiently awaits The day we call for her, Mā? Māma Māā Her children cry And Mā comes by our side, Telling us, Everything will be alright. You were just experiencing Your self-created nightmares, Now wipe your tears and Let me show me, What plane you really exist on. There, there my child, ALL will be well- The Clear Waters are flowing forever, The Square Blue sky remains permanent, The Green valleys are stretched endlessly, Many are still unseen, Your souls are infinitely bound to me, Your Mā is Divine , Eternal and Free You are borne from Her therefore, so are thee. Air, Water, Earth- are Infinite. But Every fire does out, Every flame burns and destroys- The Red is fierce and blinding. The white is calm and Luminating.
