A Place Of Peace! Poem by Ramesh T A

THIRUCHENDUR!

Next day after finishing the morning chores at 6 am

They left Tuticorin for a holy shrine in Thiruchendur.

At 8 am reaching the Lord Muruga Temple they went in

For the dharshan of the Lord leaving Ram to see the sea!

Along with the trees and birds standing still

The deeply calm sea was waiting to worship

The Sun no sooner it came out of the clouds!

Moved by the pleasant atmosphere Ram mused over

The beauty of Nature aligning his pulse with the sea.

The simple harmonic motion of the waves of the sea

Inspired the rhythmic pulse of his heart and verse!

Wearing the garland of victory in war and a lotus

In hand Lord Muruga settled in Thiruchendur

To bloom the life of his devotees struggling in

The sea of life to reach successfully the shore!

Time went without the notice of Ram in divine bliss

Till his pals returned to have breakfast in a hotel there!

After 9.30 am they left for Kanyakumari enjoying

The scenic beauty of hills, windmills, birds and

Green fields on the way to the end point of India!
