A new lease of life

When

I thought 

it was all over,

It started 

all over again.

I thought you were 

going to leave me.

But you clung to me

more passionately,

more forcefully.

I had already started

to shake you off.

But you came back to me

giving me a new perception,

of yourself and mine too.

With a brush with death,

Life, you have become

more meaningful,

more precious,

more giving.

And I take it all

with gratitude to 

The Almighty,

who sanctioned me 

A new lease of life.

You are the winner, O mother!

O mother!

you were never my friend.

No, you never were.

It was only when

I came out of the world

you made around us.

From comfort and unseen love

into the world that 

comprised of many others.

And I....

I made adjustments 

Trying to fit in somehow.

Of course,

this world is bad

Bad enough to die.

But then,

what is so good here

To die for?

I know 

your heart bleeds

when you see me weeping.

But then, it's you only

to tell me 

"Face it, fight it".

And I once again 

Draw courage out of your 

Seemingly indifferent disposition.

And it dawns upon me

I have yet again 

Emerged as the winner.

I owe my success to you.

You are the winner

Your samskaras are.
