Stars

 Shining in the vast night sky,

I see them from afar.

Dominated by the brighter moon,

There glimmer the stars.


Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows,

Or by the thick, misty clouds.

But they do not give up, they still glimmer on,

They make their voice be heard loud.


Even though they're hardly seen,

Even though they're hardly thought of,

They know that someday they will be,

Thought of, honoured and loved.


So take an inspiration from stars,

Show your true essence,

Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness,

Because one day it'll fear your presence.

    Absolutely wonderful poem da pattu!! Yes , the one that shines on despite the surrounding darkness is the true star! A person with true grit and determination will stay on his path despite any obstacles that come his way, and finally prove himself. One should not be deterred by any negative comments that one might face! After all, the beautiful lotus flower that adorns the Lotus Feet of Almighty, grows amidst the swamps and mud, doesn’t it?
    Excellent writing as usual, full of perspective , kanna ! May God bless you abundantly !!
    Loads of love,
    Shyamala Aunty

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

Clouded

  Every night, I bring myself  To stare up at the sky -  But turn back home, with a frown on my face, Clouds blocking stars, showing wry.  Every morning, I peek out the window  To marvel at the sea above - But turn away, losing hope,  Cotton figures, masking what I love.  Every time I see the clouds,  I curse them, with all might,  They don't deserve to be up there,  Ruining the bright days and starry nights.  And one day, the clouds finally went away,  And I stargazed in much peace.  But suddenly, the sky felt a bit empty -  Although dotted by the stars, without fake fleece. In the mornings, the sun burnt the pavements -  And something inside me missed watching  The white shapes that merrily float past -  I didn't realise they had much meaning.  Though much couldn't be seen, they brought A wholesome feeling - that you probably can't see -  You only can, when one day,  The clouds decide t...

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...
