Suthanthira - An Uncompromised Devotee And Explorer

By Sushmaa. T. M. R/ Suthanthira (Pen Name)

I had bid farewell to school and colony,

With teary-eyed,

But nothing stays deary

As it all got rotten,

And dreaded in my memories.

I had never stood in one place,

Hence, various collaborations

Lead me to compulsions, confusions

And at the end

To distress.

Of what I have heard

From the trespassers of time,

I assaulted those with willpower.

That's when this very life

Came near me,

And caressed my wishes for it.

Abiding a partner beside,

Bearing children,

Settling with lovely in-laws

Are an altogether different aspect

On finding purposes.

On prioritising purposes,

I have made it clear

That my needs are clearer and the same

Like others,

But one is so different and difficult -

The path of the journey;

Where my reaching of the destination

Without the map,

And with something more than

That all belonged to -

The Devotion.

I'm still here -

Stern and stunned,

To find the meaning

Which prompts me to still stay still here,

That I would be able to get to know

About what is what,

Then I'll reach there.

Where the stillness is present.
