Shail invokes Goddess Mother Durga, in a verse, in Different Truths
Mother has come home
visiting her children
like she does every year for nine days
in various forms and hues –
the epitome of power, compassion, and love.
All-encompassing
I see her in everything, every day –
in the largest of occurrences,
in the tiniest of thoughts
yet,
when she dons on the majestic divine garb
of the mighty Shakti Ma
she enwraps me in her motherly warmth
drowning my pitiful insecurities,
killing my egocentric reflections
until I get transformed
into the Being, I need to be,
not the human I deem to be.
Jai Ma!
