Wedding : joys and pain

Mother and daughter
looking ahead , looking away
a wedding awaits

a wedding awaits

sweet pain of separation

dreams of new life.

family tree spreads

new branches, new memories

love and moments flow

Prompted for Haiku my heart , Haiku heights , OSI

Mother-Daughter-Mother

the daughter turns -

she nurses a life within;

circle continues.

This haiku is for Carpe Diem.

Inspired by this thought , I penned the following lines in my native language. translation below that.


कल तक मेरी बाहों में
सिमट जाती थी जो,
आज उसकी बाहों में
इक नन्ही कलि पले ,
बिटिया कह जिसको
पुकारा उम्र भर
आज उसकी बिटिया से
ये आँगन चेह्के।


she, who filled
my arms with her smiles,
stands today
with her arms filled like wise;
who claimed her place
in my life since birth,
has shared it now
with her own flesh and blood.


This poem is for the wonderful poets I meet each week @ Open Link night .
