She trusted blindly…
And knew when not to
She travelled alone
Left the house to strangers
No doors locked
The world was nonplussed
This is not the ways of the world
What a crazy girl she is
Careless to the core
Irresponsible they called her
And asked “ I hope she knows what she is doing?”
She followed her heart for
The angels deserted her if she did not
Without questioning too much
For the answers were within her
So follow she did, paying no heed to the rules
She broke a few hearts, and her own
She questioned the trodden path
And forged her own
Unheard of, to do so, time and again
So They asked “ I hope she knows what she is doing?”
She said it as she saw it, mincing no words
Didnt lie, no matter the price
Cheated no soul no matter the temptation
There was magic in her tongue
Her words become a reality
She made no efforts to make money
But wealth followed
She made no efforts to make friends
But true relationships happened
Oh she makes it all look so easy , it must be luck
They saw that it worked for her
But they asked “ I hope she knows what she is doing?”
She gave the kids love
Her actions not based on fear
Oh what a terrible mother
She does not love them at all
They fall and she ignores
No run to hug and comfort
She makes them work
When she can afford the best help
She teases and prods and makes them cry
‘Oh what a terrible mother’
They saw the kids bloom
they said “ I hope she knows what she is doing?”
She lived true to her own soul
Not seeking approval
Evolving each day
She bloomed and blossomed
Like the unfurling of a thousand petalled lotus
Giving her all, to all that came her way
She hid no feelings, but bared it all,
No pretence, no penance,
no shame, no guilt
All that remained was a heart full of love
Live like I have learnt to ,she said, a free spirit
each moment true and eternal
Don’t shackle your soul to work that is not joyful
To goodies that are meant to win approval
To fears that are not real
Seeking joy outside, scared of one’s own self,
they listened, they nodded, they praised
But it can’t work for us
And nor can it for her
So they waited for her to stumble and fall
So they could then sagely say
“ah but I always knew that she knows not what she does”
