The Union

The Union
Who am I?
Who are you?

Who your ancestors are?

Who my ancestors are?

(Were they related?
If so, in what way ?)

Yet, we fell in
the rhapsody of love

and became one

like the rainwater,
that showers on the red soil
become one with it
turning all red.


And in the like manner we merged as one…………

- A translation of a poem from Tamil Classical poetry
' Nattrinai'


P.S.:

The Original Language - Tamil (Classical poetry)

Translator - Ramesh Iyengar
