Evening: 5th March,1983 Poem by SRIRANJI ARATISANKAR

Evening is falling
On the wings of birds
O evening tell
What colour do prefer?

Evening on the way
Alone star walking
O evening tell
Where is he going?

Leaves of the evening tree
Dancing twilight
O evening tell
whom want to charm?

Evening black water current
Shadow boat floating
O evening tell
taking whom across the flow?

Evening garden alluring
Fragrance of shadow
O evening tell
Is it amaranth?

Far-off evening land
Disappearing land-scape
O evening tell
Who is the painter?

Evening with claps palms
Intemperate water
O evening tell
Whose thirst is famous?

Evening cloud of dust
Why such fumigation
O evening tell
Is there great dancer Shiva?

Darkness-girl lying
Mysterious face veiled
O evening tell
Can I be a mirror?
