A River Poem
Inside the river are
the sky, the cloud, and the sun.
In my hands bowl is the river.
If I throw up my hands,
the river spills in drops, scattering
sky, cloud, and sun all oer me.
From my hands bowl, if I drink
the river, then within me,
the sun, the cloud, and the sky.
Tell me, who is in who?

Hide and Seek
a leaf from the tree
gliding
sliding
swinging
like a kite caressing the wind
now a boat on the river
along with colourful fish
a green flash on the
shining golden water
moved hurriedly
disappeared with the flow
water doesnt know
air doesnt know
tree doesnt know
fish dont know
this game of hide and seek.

My Mother
She lifts her head and looks up,
the skies light up entirely;
the clouds float in her eyes.
When her eyes are shut,
the skies grow all dark,
clouds break, and all over,
the spate of sadness.

Poem
Like this,
on the page
the song
like the tattooed design
is the song
from the page the word sounds,
sound the words one behind the other;
chain of words-sound
let float in the breeze
..there the song!
Now
on the page
the song is the words
silent is the song
(a poem by Mamta G Sagar translated from Kannada language by Chitra Panikker)
