Ammachi (Metered Mirror Rhyme)

Missing image

She sits upon Her Throne – in flower-petals drowned

With nectar of pure Bliss – imbibing words of Grace

All-One, yet not alone – with Joy’s glow She is crowned

Bestowing Wisdom’s kiss – She swallows Time and Space

***

She swallows Time and Space – Bestowing Wisdom’s kiss

With Joy’s glow She is crowned – All-One, yet not alone

Imbibing words of Grace – with nectar of pure Bliss

In flower-petals drowned – She sits upon Her Throne

    Intricate and lovely

    The mirrored half-lines are an innovation to this form, and you have done it very gracefully. Your subject is also inspiring. A lovely poem. Good luck!
