Kindling To My Sunshine

By Anubhab Maiti

The dew sweet droplets of pearl of her ever so lasting struggle

The struggle of birth

The struggle of incandescence

The struggle to halo my life evergreen

How beautiful she looks

Dressed in the pains and the cuts

The bruises and burns of motherhood

The strength of her neverlasting youth

As she cradles me in her soft embrace

Through the war that she fights

So that I may be...
