Hold me tight

My heart beats fast; on reaching near you.
A sea of emotions flood my eyes,
like tidal waves it washes ashore,
deposits every filth n’ mud of my past.

There is a dark cloud hanging behind me.
Thunder n’ lightning blasts off my chest,
Ghosts of innumerable desires pull me apart.
Oh ! My mother help me cut loose my ties.

Let me be in your comforting hold.
Help me breathe easy …with thy name in and out.
Let me exhale your chant Aummmmmm.
Oh Divine Mother hold me tight til then!
Let me feel your light n’ compassion.
