Wind And Light Poem by Edasseri Govindan Nair

'O Weakness!
When Thou attains motherhood
Even the arch enemies are there
Not to kill, but to swing the cradle
Of the darling babe;
Thy word is the Order,
The order of the universe
No, not I, to be surprised
If the Ocean Waves
Mount up as strong walls
For a mother to deliver
Her baby in the seas
And, the leaping flames
Become fairy nurses
To protect suckling babies
In the wilderness.

[A few lines from the poem 'Kattum Velichavum' translated by Dr. M. Leelavathi.]
