Ashu Kavi Poem by Luke Easter

A wise one, quick, poet, one reaching for Aaksh the sky,
Says the co-writer Cs Vishwanathan from India, Mumbai,
Akar-shape & Aalap-musical, Aafreen-encouragement,
By flowing in poetic rhyme as Aadi-first; most important.

Aachman-intake of a sip of water before a yagya or puja,
And in this instance an Aadash-command; message to ya,
In other words there are many Aandaleeb-The Bulbul Bird,
Relaying Abhi-fearless, Aashish-blessings from God’s word.

Abhayaprada bestower of safety, another name for Vishnu,
Abhibhava-overpowering, powerful, victorious through you,
Abhidi-radiant in Abhihita-expression and word, lifting high,
Abhijat-noble or wise Abhijvala-blazing forth not just get by.

Abhijit-one who is victorious (Abhijeet) with Abhilash-desire,
Abhimand-gladdening, Abhimani-pridefull so unafraid of fire,
Abhimanyu Arjuna's son, heroic, self-respect, seeking right,
Abhinanda to rejoice, to celebrate, praise, bless and delight.

Abhyudaya sunrise, elevation, increase heaven’s prosperity,
Abhinabhas-renowned, Abhinandana felicitous by welcoming,
Abhinatha lord of desires, another name for kama with one,
Abhisoka-passionate, Abhisumat-radiant, another name, sun.

Acanda not of the hot temper without anger gentle or kind,
Abhirup–pleasing, Abjit conquering water comes to my mind,
Abhivira surrounded by heroes, a commander, Abhra cloud,
Abhrakasin with clouds for shelter an ascetic, cover Shroud.

Acchindra-flawless, uninterrupted & Achal-constant tension,
Achyuta-indestructible it is Achintya-beyond comprehension,
Acyutaraya worshipper of the infallible, a devotee of Vishnu,
Adarsh-ideal, Adesh-command, Adhik-greater, get through.

Adhita-scholar, Adil-sincere, Aditeya another name for the sun,
Adit from the beginning Adway one; united we’re almost done,
Adwaya-unique, Agha pre-eminent also, Aghat-destroyer of sin,
Agniprava bright as the fire Agrim leader; Agriya-first, best men.

Ahilan-knowledgeable, commanding Ahmad-praiseworthy, soon,
The heavenly clean and pure Amalendu the unblemished moon,
Flow to Ajay-unconquerable, invincible Aijaz-favour, Amal-bright,
Follow Akhilesh-indestructible, Ainesh the sun's glory, Aloke-light.

Akalmash-stainless, Akshar-impershable, Akalpa-ornament,
Akash-sky, Akmal-complete, Amanda-active, Akram-excellent,
Amiya nectar, Alhad-joy, delight, Amlan unfading; everbright,
Adil-sincere, Amish-honest, Akshath-indestructible, just right.

Akshit-permanent, Akroor-kind, Akshat-uninjurable, every way,
Alagarasu handsome king, King of beauty Alhad, joy of the A’s,
Amal bright, clean, pure, Amit endless, boundless, soon to see,
Amalendu the unblemished moon, Amanath treasure of the B’s.

A small sample of cooperation, when the West meets the East,
Minus politics, warfare, poverty as poets always come in peace,
When you do it for the greatest you can also do it for the least,
Together we should always be able to find beauty in the beast.

Waves of freedom beat equally upon India & America’s shore,
That rhythm is magificent like the deep sea’s resounding roar,
Eldest son in Brahmins is given his paternal grandfathes name,
Vishwanathah! Peace & harmony, shouldn’t we all do the same?
