bhraatha






eye turns

to look

up..

the sun..

where is..

the sun

..?

somehow

eye had not

seen

earlier..

all darkness

over

this ground

..?

when

had it

come

..?

eye wonders..

is it time

to leave

..?

as form gets

on to its

feet..

slowly

in this gentle

dark chariot..

















































































































oh..this

poor chariot

must be

so alone..

without its king..

to who

it belongs..

poor heart

wonders..

as a huge wave

crashes

against

its tiny walls..

oh..this beautiful

yellow and gold..

looks to the eye

now

like

a dark shadow

of its past..

waiting..

waiting

God only knows

since how long..

for

its king..









































oh brother...

brother...

voice calls

out

for

the great one

into

the dark..

..

..

..

far across

the forests

echo..

the call

back..

silence..

no

answer..










































































far above..

this dark

almost like

another world

as

dear eye

looks..

the dark clouds

gather..

far above

this dark

lone..

chariot..


















































far away

somewhere..

temple bells

ring..

an old old tune

these..

shifting sands

bring..

eyes wonder..

at the grains..

moving

everywhere..

has not rained

for long

here..

eye wonders

sadly…

oh how..

will they live..

dear rain..

without you

..?






































the tune

is familiar..

the song

of this

once golden

chariot..

..

..

karimukil kaatile..

rajanithan..veetile..

kanakaambarangal vaadi..

kadathhuvallam..

yathrayaayi..

yaathrayaayi..

..
..

karayil

nee

mathram

aayi…
