AATHREYA - WOMEN'S STORY
Story of A Girl , every girl , the story of a teen
Her story , each and every Mother's narration
These are Her words spoken , and unspoken
As understood by me and by my pen written
Her thoughts by me understood as an expression
I am privileged for the revelation , my inspiration
Which resulted as a narration by me Athrison
Now listen to Her story and bestow your approbation : -
" I am A Woman , The Woman , A Sthree , Prakruthi
I am The Primordial Mother , Me Aadi Paraa Sakthi
I am the compendium of Original Energy , The Sakthi
Without me even Siva , The Purush is a Sava , inert matter
Me Prakruthi energized Purush into a Cosmic Dance of ecstatic Nature
A creative force that resulted in The Universe in all It's grandeur
Every non - living , living , static as well dynamic nature
Beast that walks , winged one that flies , human and every creature
I am That First Woman on Earth , Satharoopa , Lucy of anthropology
Mother of Saptha Maathrukas , Seven Sisters
Mothers of all humans , spread all over hither and thither .
Having said that much , I am now a woman , to all of you so familiar.
I am a Woman through eons , times and ages , a daughter , a sister , a partner , and A Mother
From being a sweet baby girl to a toothless great grand mother
A small daughter so timid and shy , hiding behind my Mother
A Baby girl , afraid , respectful and so obedient to my father
I am so eager to learn from mother , father , teacher , and every elder
Years rolled by , now I am a teen ager trained in music , arts and culture
Slowly becoming an expert in all matters of culinary nature
All this in addition to formal education and excelling and a pet of my teacher.
Now I am A Woman , may appear timid , but inherently bold
May seem innocent and ignorant , yet wiser for my age than any else so told
Fully equipped to be a house wife -- no no no don't use that word ,
I would like to be referred as A Home Maker of which I am proud
A in-house manager , a home-made CEO , a domestic engineer , A Home Minister
I am so conciliatory in nature , every one takes me for granted
That is my nature to remain in the back ground .
When the parents are away from home I am ever ready to take care
Always yielding to the precedence of brothers , be younger or elder
A role model to my younger sisters , who one day would be same as me
As my parents wished , I am ready to enter into a for life partnership
I know I can depend upon their judgement , so I am assured
Not worried of entering into a strange household
Strangers now may be , but one day I shall be the head .
Oh how the times have gone by , Now I am A Mother and A Grand mother
My teen agers , my flesh and blood think I am old fashioned
They are not aware that I am That Original Mother Carrying within me Her DNA
Yet I am compassionate , so tolerant , and let them say what they wish
When they tell me they have to be able to stand on their own feet , educated and financially secure
They assure that their parents can trust them and rely on their judgement
They are not in a hurry into a life partnership as yet , I stay cool , calm and remain a spectator
I shall be from now only a friend and again reminded of my own childhood
Speak only when spoken to , only be a mute presence , seen not heard .
Now my parents have left me to a distant place and are my own memories
All my children have grown wings and flown away to live their own lives
My grand children are strangers and when I ask them when shall I become a great grand mother
I was told grandma - times have changed , I know they have really changed probably for better
At last I am all alone , full time companion of my life long time life partner
Now that he has retired , he is so obedient , a true friend , we now knew we are made for each other
We are always at home , mutually tolerant of each other's presence , me for him , he for me
An intellectual companionship , a life long friendship through thick and thin , till death do us part .
We look back with satisfaction , life well spent , mission accomplished - My Primordial Mother Any Time Now Ready To Receive Me Into HER Bosom .
