A Mother Is Born!!

A Mother Is Born!!

 

“I can see blood in a patch!

A lot of pain with a laugh!

No one around yet a lot of sound!

Many fishes and water, at the top of a mount!”.

 

Proclaimed a foreteller, diving in the ball,

With an expression that made everyone’s jaw fall!

With my pregnant wife by my side, I was torn!

She continued, “I can see a mother is born!!”.

 

Wondered all day, what her ball meant to say?

Nothing striked my head until I striked it to a tray,

With a terrific pain, blood gushed out of the cuts!

As if the Ganges were flowing out of Shivas’ hairs!

 

Lied next to my wife who had a due,

With a sudden outburst of screech, a cry was new!

Happiness spread all around , the cry was overpowered!

I could reach upto the first two lines of the future.

 

Baby boy was kept alone, was all in cries,

Third line too came alive, I breathe a relieved sigh.

Planned to celebrate in the lap of nature,

Across the ocean and hills, foreteller was a great creature!

 

Her last line remained a mystery for long.

Cursed the foreteller to say something wrong.

Those few words made me forget that I was a father.

Then realised, “A child gives birth to a mother!”
