Poetry as conscious raising medium with profound literary beauty: Balamani Amma shows the way

Google celebrates the poetic work of Balamani Amma ((July 19, 1909 – September 29, 2004), known as the grandmother of Malayalam literature, with a doodle by an Indian artist on her 113th birthday. As I could gather from her work as reported on the internet, here are a few perceptions written as a non-poem

NON-POEM

Womanhood -

The divine life of transcendence

From bio-physical worldly existence

To extra-ordinary spiritual possibilities

Through evolutionary processes

Of growth as real feminine divine

~*~

Motherhood -

Sweet poetry

Of pious feelings

Born in a kind-loving heart

Jelled with sheer

Joyous musical expressions

Those're profound and elevating

And ecstatic feeling

At the moment of birth of her first child

~*~

Poetry -

Shaping skilfully

The emotional essence of life

Into language art

With insights into realities of human life

Both in the outer world

And inner world

Of self-awareness and freedom
