Painless - Pain

Thank You

O Loving Mother..

for making me

a little green bush…

for letting them

pluck me out

away from my roots

and grind me

between rough stones

so the colour came…

Thank You Mother

for letting them

wear the colour

on their hands

and pray..

for eternal life of their beloved

Thank You

O Dear Mother..

for making me

a lump of mud…

for letting them

take me away

from Your womb

and cleanse me

in scorching fire

so the metal came…

Thank You Mother

for letting them

wear me

around their necks

with prayers

for eternal togetherness of two halves

Thank You

O Mother..

for making me

a piece of rock..

for letting them

break me away

from my foundation

cut and carve me

between sharp knives

so the light came…

Thank You Mother

for letting them

use me

to carve and polish

other stones

to uncover

their precious priceless-ness within

Thank You Mother

for making me

such a loved bit of rock

with

Your loving heart…

for giving me

The job

that was born

out of pain to the body n mind

…a painless pain..

for letting me die

so I could live

for letting me shine in the night

for letting me shower Your light

like drenching rain..

and share the bliss..

of knowing

You

of being

You…
