நானே நானாய் இருப்பேன்,
நாளில் பூராய் வசிப்பேன்…!

Through tempests sailed on fate’s rough sea,
I’ve found this calm, this peace in me.
Long years it took to reach this shore—
To smile at worlds I feared before.
All yesterdays converge in me today;
Their scattered whispers form a clear display.
What I now live will blossom, ripen, stay,
And forge new meaning along tomorrow’s way.
Unleashed at last, I live with fullest breath,
I rise and soar, defying bounds of death.
To quench the thirst my spirit holds inside,
Today I open, in deep self-search abide.
I see myself as though a stranger near,
With casual grace, no purpose to declare.
Yet in this gaze, a newfound truth is clear—
A clarity that lingers in the air.
I dwell in profound depths
where my very being ceases to be.
There, I’m reborn as a mirror, transforming
into the reflections that grace my surface.
A life as joyful as a kitten at my feet,
Brushed with love as moments quietly fly.
I yearn to embrace each wonder on my way,
And feel its beauty deepen every day.
Unwavering, I stand as my truest self,
Embracing life’s vast depths and all its wealth.
Through tedious trials and shadows that obscure,
I rise refined—steadfast, serene, and pure.
The hawk soars freely with the wind’s embrace,
No charted course to guide its graceful flight.
Yet moves with beauty, finding its own space;
In solitude, a mesmerizing sight.
Like stones that sink through water’s deep embrace,
Forsaking echoes, in silence I keep.
I lose myself where visions flow free,
Drowning gently in all I see.
I will rest upon the earth with quiet grace,
Like a crow at peace on a fighter bull.
And I will walk in rhythm, hand in hand,
Embracing life’s flow, in harmony with the land.
Bliss cascades through consciousness like a tide,
Deepening this fleeting mortal breath,
As cosmic lullabies pierce the night,
Cradling us toward our destined fate.
ஏதோ ஏகம் எழுதே ஆஹா ஆழம் தருதே…!
