"Home" A poem by Dr Archana Tandon

As I lay with my head on her lap

With her fingers easing out my afflictions

I felt myself emerging from the tormenting trap

Of anguish, sufferings and botherations

Embraced in her genuine warmth 

I found myself unfolding and at home 

Affectionately easing out and giving in

To the simplistic behaviour of my mother's clone

Indeed she was a God sent zealous fairy

To create for me heaven on this earth

By providing a reclusive space for my soul

She did save me from the life's treacherous haul

Dr Archana Tandon
