From a single room
You hold the reigns of all
And now I understand why
Meera was never tired
Of whirling round and round
For you, singing for you,
Throwing colours everywhere
Because that is you-
Colourful and vibrant-
And dear, you gave more shades
And here I, a mere being
Visualize showring flowers on you.
Petal after petal- nonstop, with love and mirth
As I can’t contain myself
Thinking of you.
Your subtle presence and your maya
That has kept me hooked to you!
When you are with me
Even the fire feels cool
And how lovingly will I hug your feet
Like a long-lost toy of a child.
Let me come near you,
Let me be like you
Let me think like you
May you sit on my mind-
The peace and tranquility come along
Because without that, it’s not you!
A pompous show is me
And the purity is you!
Fresher than the dew at dawn,
Softer than a sapling
Your feet, Oh Lord! Your feet-
I see them through
The sheet of tears-
Hazy yet clear!
Your nails and a perfect arch
Commanding beauty and strength
All at once, and I bow down to
Your lotus feet,
I surrender my all,
I, your refugee.
