Farthest of my Farthest Spheres
Mother launches me
Out of her womb
On to this world
Amidst flames of pain
And torrents of pain!
Mother alone
Is my star I
I spin around
In tight circles
For all my needs!
Slowly and steadily
A host of things
Fascinate my fancies
As days rush past me
Planting seeds of desires !
I kick my orbit
At its waist;
Make it elliptical
To gain easy grasp
Of far-off glitters!
Every spectacle
Weans away
My proximity to mom
Yet i near her
For all selfish needs!
An irresistible star now
Charms my eyes!
Onto a collision course
I become a wanton prey!
It tears me away
Out of gravity
Of my aged mother;
Crashes me safely
Onto its bosom!
Now my mother
No more a star -
But my planet!
And from a demanding planet
To a commanding star
I raise my status!
Near impossibility
In heavenly science;
But common occurrence
In human history!
And i keep her
As my farthest of farthest spheres!
