Awakened at the crack of dawn
with an odd sensation,
couldn’t believe my eyes
when I beheld my late
mother’s image on the
Opposite wall.
I was overjoyed, but my
swift anticipation turned
into bitter sadness,
when it vanished within seconds.
Reminiscing my early years
Couldn’t hold back my tears
For she was my guiding light
and, so unfortunate am I
to lose such an angelic mother
Perhaps this strange spectacle
may be a sign for me to
join her in Samsara
as my time on earth is up.
