An evocative poem about a child speaking to its mother, by Ritambhara, in Different Truths.
The warmth of your arms defines my world
The care you give is untold
When you are away, I go astray
Mumma O’ Mumma! Please never let me go away.
Unsafe is the world, I am unable to judge
Take me to the world you dwelled
When even the stranger could be relied upon
I can’t differentiate the hysterical foe in the mystical friend
Who should I rely upon, when I am away
Mumma o’ Mumma! Please never let me go away.
The world is beautiful I know
Some miscreants can’t steal its beauty
Hold my hand down the lane
Every little thing I would share
Mumma o’ Mumma! Please never let me go away.
