Godesses

By Nivedita P

She calls me out into the open, silently nudging me to look above. 

She calls me in my dreams, through jolts of tears and sobs..

She peels the layers of my existence, one eon at a time.

She renames me- calls me by her name.

Makes me smile as I shudder within her embrace.

Wild and free. Uninhabited and untamed. 

She calls for the divine in me.

In a trance, I look everywhere with closed eyes.

“Stay!” she commands.

“Don’t flinch!”

“Look within- Do you see you?
