Walking on the edge of a river-11

English Translation – Swathi Sreepada

Telugu original written by – Dr.C.Bhavani Devi

11. A light of letters

When wanted to bloom as a flower
Mind was caught in the fences of thorns

When wished to give as a gift of love
Mind became a sacrifice to the world sword

When tried to do a prayer of peace
Mind was scared of the rain of bombs
When wanted to write good poetry
Mind became a hot sigh and melted
When wanted to have a good dream
Mind became yours and vacuum remained

When anguished watching the world
It became a light of letters that never puts off
