దాగిన మందుపాతర
కన్నీటి విలువ తెలిసిన కవి
అనుభవాల సిరాలో కలం ముంచి
గ్రహణం నుంచి
తెలుగు సూర్యుని
విముక్తిచేసిన మహాశక్తి
వీరయ్య , Lingammala సంతానం
పేరు జాషువా
గ్రామం వినుకొండ.
***
Observed history of birds countless
flying in colors beautiful
Reared baby Crows and mongoose
not for fun but as my children
Read the story of Gandhi hidden
in the cobweb of spider
Realized the love of dogs for master
by giving a handful of morsels
Grasped that in gaining peace
Animals are superior to man proud
over his “birth superior”
Why tales ten thousand?
***
I have seen heavens plenty
in the wings of butterflies
Enchanted hungry me worlds beautiful
in jeerangi like mother
Shone in me light of nine gems
in walking of ponnangi
Danced dharmas many in hunting bird pikili
Reflected creepers of love
In flowers of grass and kadambas
The youthful eye wandered
Robbed me of nature enchanting.
(translation of poems from "naakatha" by Joshua )
