Kali 26: when the devotees go away, what do u feel

When devotees have withered away


From your courtyard


Some after waiting to be blessed by you


Some getting their prayers answered


By even your denial,


But is denial by you not a kind of


Affirmation,


What do you feel


When clouds feel shy of the


Reflections they see


In the lakes around the


Meadows


Clear and yet confused


Why should reflections be not as serene


As the thoughts


Are you saying that


We have right only to think,


Not feel or do enough


Lest thoughts strike chords


In your heart


And u cannot deny


Any more


Wishes of your ardent devotees
