Walking on the edge of a river-12

English Translation – Swathi Sreepada

Telugu original written by – Dr.C.Bhavani Devi

12. Silent brightness

Green color
We recall the leaves but
I realized only when I read the nature book here
The trees decorate on their entire body
That
So many hues of colors
And fills their leaf eyes the new hues of light

From dark green age-old leaves
To young light green
From golden lemon to gold flowers
From new sprouted leaves to fire flower bunches
Revolting every leaf as a white rose
As if smeared turmeric to feet of green plains
As if applied henna to the hands of mounds
Day and night dipped in the oceans of hues
Even the sun and moon
The language of green changing its dress everyday
Waring with forth coming extreme cold
Drizzling down leaves also along with silence
With the breath of life sprouting within
Giving color tune to all estates in varied hues
From warm early dusks curtains of slight snow for
Every leaf handovers the fumigation of sacrifice
To the commentator commenting the universal secret
