Swami Amar Jyoti

She carries mountains on her shoulders.
But one day, she will realise she can break the mountains into tiny rocks and crush them into sand.
And then she will hold out her hands and watch those mountains slip through her fingers.
And she will sigh.
She will be free of the weight,
but her shoulders will always ache.
They will always hurt a little.
And yet…
that ache will serve as a constant reminder
of the time she moved mountains.
And reduced them
to dust.
