I Miss you Mother

I Miss you Mother

Poet: Nikunj Goel

I was one, when I was left in this cruel world.
She went away in those far reaches of sky,
Among those twinkling stars
I lost her when I even could not speak
The word 'Mother.'

As the tide of the time of flowed,
It also erased my old memories.
I had only seen her in the image hung on the opposite wall.
I sat under it gazing it for hours,
Wishing had she come out of the image
And blessed me with her love,
But she never came to quench my thirst.

Whenever I asked my sister
How was our mother?
She always replied that she was the same like you, My Brother.
With these words I felt my mother's essence within me.
As if telling me, "You have a long way to go on my child."

Every night I used to lie on the roof
With a pillow beneath me
And she used to lull me
With the cold breeze which flew over me.
I knew she was among those
A hundred thousand stars,
Reflecting her light as a token of love on mе.
