In A Sudden

By Mirabai Mirabai

On a sudden,

the sight,

Your look of light,

stills all,

The curd-pot

falls to the ground.

Parents and

brothers

all call a halt.

Prise out, they say,

this thing from your heart.

You've lost your path.

Says Meera:

Who but you

can see in the dark

of a heart?
