MY MOTHER-2 ମୋ ବୋଉ Minutes and hours

MY MOTHER-2

         ମୋ ବୋଉ 

Minutes and hours  have passed 
Since you left this world
Where you were my mother
I was your erring son
The situation has not changed 
The same darkness all over
No trace of the sun as yet 

When I look at your room 
Where you recited and let us listen to 
Most of the mythologies including 
The epics Ramayan and Mahabharat 
Among your listeners 
I am probably the lone survivor 
I see that empty cot
Where we had shared so much time
So much of love, life and smile 
Where you used to sit and sleep 
Wherefrom you shower on all of us 
Your love and affection 
Guidance and concern 

Since the last five and a half years
You were confined to bed
But you were always lively 
And full of grace
When l met you last 
I could never think
Your days were numbered
And I will lose you,
My heaven on earth  forever 

Since months
I was feeling restless 
I used to get up from sleep 
And feel a sad melancholy deep within 
A fear constantly haunted me
As if I was going to lose something precious 
Something very special, very different 
Something more than me and my life 
Nothing can be as precious as you, my mother
My heart and soul, life and breath 
My earth below and sky over

Now It is all over
My relationship with you for years
Ended in ashes and smokes 
Tell me! how can I live
The rest of my life 
When there is no you, my mother?
