IDOLIZED

 

IDOLIZED

  

Spring festival evokes time visible,

Corona diminished a relief to the heart,

Flood played havoc, disappeared,

Unseasonal rains threaten, pouring,

Inundates, ripen grain fields a  worry,

Overall mirth present season thrilled,

Earth wears colorful blossoms canopy,

Valley, meadows showing happiness,

Wildflowers in profusions fragrant,

Fields gray, painted by now deep green,

Velvety carpet moist early morning,

Shining glory dews glisten in the sunlight,

Hints fragrant early morning auspicious,

Colored earthen idol decorated scented,

The last touch of brush with paint trying,

Giving life to Mother's eye looking intense,

Humanity believed her Goddess supreme,

Mother nature symbolizes her presence,

Mother earth produces bountiful food,

Corns, grain, millet season witness,

Food for humans for the year is essential,

People worship her, their gratitude deeply,

Pity mother, you offer in ten hands,

A human can receive with two hands, prays,

Wants health, happiness, prosperity,

Begs security, peace in all houses,

Festive occasion noisy at every home,

Burning oil lamps, scented sticks,

An offering of food, fruits many neatly,

Hymns with devotions, prayer, prostrate,

Children, females, youth, and old alike sit,

Creates aspiration infinite before mother,

Nine days of sacred worship earnestly,

Crowded Goddess temple lighted,

A thousand lamps are burning bright,

Mother killed a demon, beast cruel,

Symbol, her child turns into a beast,

Powerful with lust, Mother killed him,

Switched my thought to my nature,

Mother watches in the heart of human,

She is the soul, life born in her womb,

Compared to universal motherhood same,

She is the human character, kills lust,

Trident, the self-discipline, destroys evil,

Third eyes on her forehead, knowledge,

Bestowed to each human as her child,

Wisdom, within every soul, illumines,

Symbolizes as lightening  white,

Dispels darkness means ignorance,

Her grace humans become realized,

Conquers death,  the deathless soul exists,

Least fearful of death, of mortal frame,

No more attachment, importance to a face,

Name, status, address, relation little,

Discovers realized soul mother nature,

She is present in trees, animals, birds,

Present in wind, water, soil, fire, space,

Each sustains life in subtle nourishing,

Worshipping nature preserves essential,

Idolize hill, river, valley, forest, reality,

Preserve mother nature for existence,

Idolize own mother, motherland,

Pay respect to  the womb of  the mother,

Nine months stay, nine days of  worship,

Nine days is human life, graces land,

Her air, water, earth, fire, and energy provided

Mortal frames merge with soil, idolized.
