As Simple As Full Moon.! Poem by sundaram chandrakalaadhar

God!
Grant this prayer.

Let me receive in true humility
accolades for talents
the world deems I really possess -

Let no pride gain to my top
and key my head
to uncontrollable spins-

Let me ever respect my elders
through pleasing virtues
and mild manners-

Let my heart and tongue
fine-tune to truth
when speech blossoms on lips-

Let me ever remain grateful to everyone
who with fondness and care
chiselled me what I am-

Let me thank every day and hour
every soul which lightens my life
through its skills or beauty-

Let my writings as straight as sunrise
and as simple as full moon
and none dig deep for diamonds
in streaming sweat and biting pain-.

Let me ever sing my songs knowing well
I am a blade of grass ever under threat of death!
