You, my child.

A tribute to my vipassana experience which made who I am today and continues to guide my life very deeply. I share with you-

YOU, MY CHILD-


I was once a child afraid of the silence
I was once a child scared of the darkness
I grew into a woman but the silence remained
I grew in age but the darkness remained

Layer after layer turned into a hemisphere
Of doubts and shadows which followed me till here

I tried every door
Feeling tired to my core
I shouted every night
Praying I could see the light.

And then I met THE ONE
The dearest of friends
Who showed me my minds endless trends
I saw the darkness yet I stayed put
I stood my ground and refused to go kaput

In the silence I met the child again

Fear me not she said and you will have a lot to gain
So I shed my years
and allowed all the tears
The child who was robbed of a mother's love
Accepted the pain and herself became free as a dove

She cried that night but not for sorrow
She accepted the light and that forever changed her tomorrow.
