THE FASCINATION----DR.K.G.BALAKRISHNAN
Through the boundless,
I long to swim
Like a bird
In the puzzling sky,
Blue perhaps,
The hue-less,
Or the flaming red!
To dissolve into the Nil
That swilling out the Full,
I do not know,
The power, the colour,
The measure of my wing
Nor the sign of my song!
One thing alone I know;
Everything unseen, veiled;
The virtual I view,
The real I dream!
Babbling everywhere,
The sword, the bullet,
The arrow, the bomb;
Am the innocent,
The helplessness!
Hiding somebody,
Somewhere,
For something, sure;
I am aware!
Of the fate, the bloody!
Still, eager I am,
To be with Thee;
To fly, fly, fly;
Into the blue hue of the sky,
In the vast, deep,
The Eternal Cipher;
The Mum so clever!
O my Dear.

Swill=drink greedily
Babble=speak like a baby,
repeat foolishly
