Add Colours to Rainbow - Visitor's Poem

by Vetrivel Manickathevar
(Chennai, India)

Let me add colours to rainbow
for it lacks my originality
let me fix wings to flowers
for they seek their freedom
let me count the celestial stars
for they know not their members

Let me bring the moon to the earth
for my little son not yet seen it
my day counts my life
further my resolve to raise my head
above the shoulders of all known giants
and to move the earth from the
vicious circle of vices:

If only have we had the strings
all the cute little flora would
certainly form into a garland
If only had we the nails of confidence
our fingers will be enough
to count the stars and beyond

Faltering confidence and
failing reasons won't encourage
our odyssey through
hostile terrains and cruel deserts
experience and enlightenment
would not lead you to nowhere
except to destination ultimate
