Who is righteous overmuch is a morsel for the Old One.

To Poetry Today

On the zone of love you're yourself crowned
Winged around by she and he abounded
Ever youthfully a youth profound
Heartless but to vision beyond
The love iridescently lustfully code-worded..
Yet another fluorescent life missed
Of love lovable to comprehend
Of help and aid for the manifold
Of pasture, nature, culture multifold
Of history, events plentitude best told
Of plentiful zones than your kind
Wouldn't you feel in your mind

In a country with an overabundance of food, no one should go hungry because of a lack of funds or technical and professional knowledge. We have the food, and we have the networks; we now need to support the providers.

Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul.

Bountiful Rain

Bountiful rain, we have yearned for you, prayed for you,
When, thro' the drought days, ill visions had scope;
Thankfulness vast in the past we displayed for you
When you have come at the end of our hope.
Now you have come, is our subsequent attitude
Smacking of gracelessness far from the mind.
Is there a tinge of reproach in our gratitude
If we suggest that you can be too kind?

Farmland and forest have known your munificence;
Sweet, tender green springs anew in the fields;
Meekly and meetly we hail your beneficence,
Dreaming again fresh, glorious yields.
Bountiful rain, of your bounty give ear to us,
Yet deem us not for your bounty unfit,
If we remark that just now you appear to us
Well - overdoing it just a wee bit.

The forest's aweep, but the rain is still falling;
The farmlands are soaking, the paddocks awash;

A mother should give her children a superabundance of enthusiasm; that after they have lost all they are sure to lose on mixing with the world, enough may still remain to prompt fated support them through great actions.

To The Ocean

It's thou dawning horizone
That dots the first sindhur
Lambent on earth's crinion
Bubbling with waving freshener

It's thee in morntide light
Bumpy-bumpy-busy wavering-
Over a pretext for a breakfast
As if it is earth-heaven's wedding

It's thee on slumbering nap
With bellyful salty food and aqua
Under sunny shade in a wavy trap
As if feasted in meridian awe

Plentiful thee, in plentiful harmony
For plentiful people along the border
Thou rollers in tender melody-
Seems a warm evening wedding- splendour

The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.

Bliss Bountiful

To be blessed is to watch the trees
Their blossoms when they shed fresh
Chirrups and tweets metering coherent
Ecstasy-adorned mind sings forth joyously
This moment, this showering Bakula flowers
O'bountiful, bountiful..smitten and crazy

Carpeted aroma this tuned melodic to
Bharathi once sang breezy dulcet words
'Eththanai kodi inbam vaiththaai-yengal
Iraiva, iraiva, iraiva'...and
Look, how my english spirit humming it
'Ho, bountiful happiness gifted Thee-our
God, o'God, o'God'..

And to continue when you ask me
Hunting my heart in this floral pleasance..
Out with those elysian words humming for you..

'Chiththinai achiththudan inaithaai-angu

The Farmer's Song

....and the farmer sing a song
a song of bountiful harvest.

His face covered with sweat
but he smiles as bright as the sun
and the farmer sing a song...

'Oh, gracious heaven
thank you for this day
thank you for this bountiful harvest.'
