Domestic Shades-12 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Wishing My Grand-Daughter


Appears like risen from your lotus-nascence
Aurora's auspice
Bearing a clement presence
Sprawling incessant effulgence
Traversing by a sunny cycle along the days
With ardent love for Mother Earth

Appears like risen from your lotus-nascence
Sacred Shiva's cherubic Bala
Grown into a damsel of Tripura
To vanquish Bandasura beateous Lalitha
In valorous eloquence to conjoin Shiva
Meenakshi leering fledging love-arrows

Appears like risen from your lotus-nascence
Verdant Lakshmi pining for Vishnu
Firm in the lord's heart be seated to accrue
Sought His espousal reflects you
O' grand-daughter your divine puissant power
How I wonder sans any difference

O'Miss.Grandeur
Of your persona verdure
A scholar, benefactor I discover
And I wish you be so for ever
With all the mercy of the Supreme-Power
Wish you life through to cherish and prosper
