There was a life I endured—
From crawling into walking,
From startled beginnings
Into something worn and strained.
Your presence sustained my survival,
Whether on earth or beyond it.
I searched within the soul—
From barrenness into fertile ground,
And back again into barrenness.
Each time I tried to begin again,
I found myself trapped in restless thought,
With every effort dissolving
Into dilemmas I could not avoid.
Time passed in stillness—
From hours into days,
Days into months,
Months into years,
Until years gathered into a life
That deepened into silence.
Through the final closing—
From an opening into confinement,
From light into stillness—
I became a hardened child
Under the protection of Goddess Kali.
Maybe you are gone.
Yet I continue in stillness,
Guided by what remains of the divine.
