“GOOD MORNING”,
(KARUNASRI )

This is morning serene
This is morning beautiful
After rain is gone
Arrived good morning.

These are sun rays
Awakeners of folks
Reddest buds of
Union of heaven and earth.

On the ramparts of forts
On the palaces great
Falling in slant
The rays of rising sun.

To the spikes of temples
Crags of hills
Decorating in multi-colours
Spreading gold in courtyards.

The rays of the Sun
Nature’s adornments.

Raining day and night
Clouds pouring their hearts out
To the west of the sky
Are laying tents tantalizing .

Wind boys pampered
Crawling coolly
Coming from far
Touching us tenderly.

Glittering Udayasri’s
Cheeks delicate
Radiating the entire earth
Flowers beautiful and bright.

Sprouted top to bottom
Leaves of ‘Simula’ tree
Shining red
Like tongues of flames of sighs
Tossing their heads minus fears.

Still in my hearts of hearts
Always in the same manner-
The bright tongue of flame
Shining like light anew.

No light, no blossom
No tune, no affection
Mere existence joyous
Said “Ahamasmi”
Burning in pride.

Even small birds also
Coming out of nests
Spreading their wings
Poking with their beaks.

Birds in crowds
In shire in twilight
Filling the edges of wings
With water golden.

Then me !
My heart too
Turned into a strange bird
Yearning to soar high and high.


Like sweet smell
Radiating entire nature
After first year
Out of the earth’s womb,

Like light spreading
beyond aura of light
Floating in the lukewarm stream
Of the green of the meadows,

The rain water along with flowers vakula
From the ends of leaves
Are falling in drops
On the earth.

There the Sun god !
Look-
Reflecting
In cesspool on the street royal-
Driving dark clouds far-
Spreading rays in villages and cities
In the world entire-
After the first year
Arrivals of joy.
Now you can come
Into the street royal
And raise your head
Without fear.

There line of clouds
In clothes wet-
Here muddy waters
Flowing like flood.


The solar orb
Reflects in
Every blade of grass
Each and every cell
Philosophy of “Ahamasmi”
Awaiting
Bliss.
