SACRED FEMININITY

(A collaborative poem by Nutan Sarawagi and K.Radhakrishnan on the occasion of International Women's Day.)

RADHAKRISHNAN:-

Celebrate sacred femininity,

Lift females from obscurity,

Acknowledge their power and divinity,

Restore their freedom and dignity.

Beyond form & duality is that divine essence,

Vast and dynamic is its omnipresence,

Pervading lives, an immanence,

Sacred femininity is that “Goddessence".

How this power be only in masculine form?

To gender assignment it can't conform,

So alive, so infinite and so free,

Made from love & made to love is femininity.

She is the ever changing sea of emotions,

Unending source of love filled with devotion,

She has the Universe inside of her,

A great inventor, innovator and creator.

She is the beacon light showing  right way,

Her hands pull us from going astray,

Every man has traits of femininity,

It is for us to bring out that for tranquility.

The feminine is the matrix of creation,

Depth of it's mystery was sadly forgotten,

Divine light create  bodies in wombs of women,

Feminity can bring spiritual transformation.

Let's reclaim this potential of feminine,

Feel its connection to earth for  salvation,

Honor Her presence within our soul,

For peace to prevail in this earth in whole.

NUTAN:-

Was she a woman ever to be 

in her love NO ONE to see 

For she was a divine light only meant to be 

Where everyone looked 

nowhere ‘her’ to see 

For she lived ‘only’ for herself 

in her ‘others’ to be 

in her love forever to be the love promised 

in a hope 

in it ‘never’ to be 

‘Snuffed out’ in a moments daylight 

To call out  ‘all night’

If this is heaven god tell me 

what my hell will be 

In it to ignite it’s burning light in me 

Wherever I live ‘nowhere’ as me 

Just my life ‘in me’ to be 

Dimmed out

it’s death to see

In your tears drenched 

in it’s wrecked wreath to be 

the ‘’wretched ‘’me 

In it’s unwarranted death 

it’s death warrant to be 

Love me don’t hate me 

Don’t devour me 

Don’t break me 

Just let me be that me

That waits for ‘another’  in it to see 

The ‘real loved’ that lived in me 

to never be ‘me’

Set me free 

In gods love to just roam free 

In his love to become that me 

That ‘never’ lived in me 

Now in me wants to be free 

Flee 🕊 

In a love forgotten 

that once lived in me 

to be no more me 

Love me.
