like Lakshmi who was born as nectar —

like jasmine buds —

as a swan —

with Your cotton-like —

soft garments —

with words that suit Him —

like mountains —

with pearl-like —

you became a delight to the eye —

like —

walk —

white conch —

as lightning —

my mother —

the mothers of those children —

the parents of children —

the mother of such a child —

the mother of those children —

as a Mother —

female swan —
