Your Visit

You knew that your siblings had gone

Wanted me to know, there remained one

You felt the misery I was in,

Tapped my shoulder and raised my chin

Although I’ll try to describe

Your embrace and the associated vibe

I am sure I will definitely fail

And my words will not prevail

To portray the feeling I had

And how I was extremely glad

My blood started rushing through

The moment I dreamt of you

“I came from heaven all the way

To comfort you during this short stay,

Let you know that I care

And of your suffering I am aware

Your separation from us brings you pain

This happens to you time and again

Mother, now, it is time for me to go

But, I am always with you, that you know”

I felt so different when I woke up

It was a trance that shook me up.
