1025 Do we love each other For our respective virtues

Do we love each other

For our respective virtues

Or the inadequacies

Which we pretend we

Could compliment

Why did we love so much

When you fell down

I was worried

And you did not like my advice

More I was concerned

More you despised

Do we only love when we are distanced

From the railings which

You hold to walk

And I keep quiet

When you wish, I would talk

1024 Rhymes and reasons, For being there where there is pain, Kaali !!

Rhymes and reasons, For being there where there is pain, Kaali !!

You had made the spring come early

You had made the rains stop

Just for a while

When the sun wanted to have a glimpse of

Fleeting shadows of you

Walking away from light

Into abyss of darkness

Like  the moon on amavasya night

But then I recalled that

Asking sun to change its course

Or moon to lie low

Was not right

Let us be ready Ma Kaali

To accept the changing seasons

And times

Rhymes and reasons

For being there where there is pain

And where there are prayers therefore

1023 Why did I succumb to my vanity, Ma kaali!!

Why did I succumb to my vanity, Ma kaali!!

I could have gone on and on

With my devotion

Mother kaali!!

And then forced you to forgive me

But then I had to think of all those

Who thought

you were powerful

and thus could bless them

I did not want to rob you of your power

I decided to succumb to my vanity
