Suraiya you’re not alone any longer You have the moon of his - TopicsExpress



          

Suraiya you’re not alone any longer You have the moon of his tenderness You wear it like an armour And what is not heard commonly those ragas have reached the seashore of your ears like the thump of the sea during the low tide hour the steps were steep and your feet bled and when you reached the doorway you collapsed because you wanted to take refuge at the home of the formless one nobody’s going to throw stones at you and do not blame yourself you know, the stillness under the turbulence of the sea is yours now and the moment when night blends with dawn that is yours for prayer you cross the forest the trees the rivers and now you’re here you walked under trees full of flowers and you walked in the light patter of the rain and that is when you were young and now you hear only that laughter. (Translated extemporaneously from Malayalam to English by Kamala)
