Devaki Krishna

It was darkness around her,

In the cell where she kept,

The darkness in her life is more,

As she has felt killing of her every child,

Her husband is helpless,

He too kept in the cell which is locked,

Tied with chains to stop them from escaping,

And he is unable to console her,

Her mind is occupied with the cries of newborn babies,

She remembers only their crying voices,

There is no chance for her to see them smile and grow,

As her brother killing every child she conceived,

That night the darkness is more,

But there is hope in her,

As the delivery time reached,

She prayed to God to save her child,

From her brother who is ready to kill the child,

Lord Vishnu himself born as her child,

He became light in the cell and in her life,

And in Vrindavan, Mathura,

He left her mother,

But he brought a smile on her face,

As she knows her child alive,

She waited years to meet her child Krishna,

But she lived with hope.
