Brihintha Burggee- A Poem

The Most Beloved, You

My heart became an unwavering tornado,

Unable to choose the perfect emotion --

Was it the grief of nothingness,

Or the impatience to embrace everything?

Even though, only petals of roses 

spluttered from my mouth,

in Your praise. 

Only streams of pearls 

flowed down my flustered cheeks,

in Your fear. 

Only peaceful humility fuelled wings 

to a heart full of roots when I prostrated

to You.

And I knew my heart was once again

Pregnant with hopes of bliss.
