Moon Child

A mere sliver of light

Shining through the dark

Unashamed to stand out

Even when not in full glory

Unafraid of ridicule or taunt

For the moon knows, part or whole

It will rise without fail

The light, the dark and everything in between

Padmini's work is not just poetry; it is a sacred, timeless call to reclaim one's true essence and embrace the power of spiritual awakening. Through her lyrical mastery and deep spiritual insight, she opens pathways to healing, growth, and self-liberation. Her poetry is an invitation for us all, to journey through the depths of our being and return, to the Light of our Divine purpose." - Mohamed Faruk Hoosain (MA UKZN)
