Acting on Nammu's suggestion and posting here what was composed as i awaited my morning Raga...i am normally the only one on the forum in the wee hours...gives me time to read the exchanges and try an apology for verse:)
THE LITMUS TEST
A cross road
in life we often face
Choose one
after weighing the pros and cons, relevant to the phase
Choose she
did to stay on in KMPG
Evoking
strong responses from family that stood further divided
She the one
smarting most in the deal, visible to all reaching out to heal
A monster she
had made him from the outset
Her and His
family rallied beside her willing to berate the thoughtless move.
A family she
came born with and a family she chose to bear with
Her choice
that distanced her from the man that had guarded her for 28 years
A choice that
brought a Prince Charming that guarded her with possessive zeal
A decision
she rued 3 months later, A parting that wrenched hearts around her
A mother
departed shattering her loved ones a daughter arrived striving to meld them
In the
process resistance, repentance, rejection, resignation she faced in every
direction
Resilience of
an unwanted child, Insecurity of an unwanted spouse, inadequacy at work
Deterred her
not to confront the devil of the cross the father bore
Unrelenting
he was she smarts in the agony of both
A fairy in
disguise awaits at a distance the watchful vile other notes her every move from
close quarters
A new arrival
in her life Fairy or witch time will reveal ...cup of joy will be hers at last...
