Tucked up in
saree nicely
Lit up with makeup lightly,
Fat around
with emotions heavy
Lived here
my nanny granny.
Does the
divinity
And Supreme
serenity
Reside in stony
deity only?
I asserted
That they
belong to my old lady.
With rich
inside, and grace allied,
Here lived
my nanny granny.
Awoke she
early
At time so
holy,
Chanted she
mantras
Some bunch
of sutras.
Kicked my
sleep off
As arrived
the sunny loaf.
Nights weren’t
dark
With stories
of dictum mark,
Her food had
taste
That I ate
with haste.
Before she
was asleep
High up in
dreamy leap,
She prayed
for us,
Chanted she
mantras,
Some bunch
of sutras.
I am still
here
But she left
for somewhere,
I search for
my dear
In the midst
of all fear.
I try to
recall
How the life
was jolly,
Tucked up in
saree nicely
Lit up with makeup lightly,
Fat around
with emotions heavy
Lived here
my nanny granny.
