(This poem won a prize in the "Outset Writing Competition" organised by British Council on the theme of "Homelands")
Mamma,where are you?
Take me in your arms,
Take me to the place
Where I first belong
How Safe,Comfortable and Warm it was!
The place so serene
Neither had I to strive nor yield
For food and pleasures of the world
Where Are You?
This world filled with chaos
The cacophony of languages,plethora of communities
Places of history,Different cultures-
All so Radiant but not like your smile.
That place,so vibrant,the smell of your Presence
So inviting,Take me,Take me in your arms!
I see Love right there
Let Peace serenade me
Come,Envelope-Empower me.
*the end*
