A poem for Mother India. - WHAT IS IT ABOUT YOU?

Image may contain: sky and cloud

WHAT IS IT ABOUT YOU?
What is it
about you
that even
a knowing of their divine origin
cannot hold all the gods from rushing
and taking birth
and then playing like an eternal child
upon your lap.
What is it
that you have always known
on
this play of the Being
becoming all that it wants..
a freedom of the spirit,
that will
snuggle cozily still in your veil ?
what is it
that makes you smile at time itself
when it takes a billion
to decorate a cake of seventy lights.
( Ode to Mother India, 15th August )
