A Farewell from a Mother

Dr .Sudhansu Dash

The bird escaping from the womb

To measure the boundary of the sky

Your wings carry my signature.

The womb is made empty

To wash the cosmic feet with the tears of my joy

Just to fill the infinite sky.

Take the farewell from me,

Leave me back to live for others.

That is my worth of being yours.

I can tolerate my tears

To withdraw them into my eyes

To smile in your face for ever

To tolerate a bosom full of sweet emptiness
