Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 AUGUST SUMMER August summer from awesome meadow sings, I never tire from commune with my Soul, In silent wood's enchanted shades, where broad Shafts of sunlight fall in full accord Gilding leaves of green. The dusty lane's my goal, Which ends where the higher path begins. The air, the fair horizon, crystal springs, Rosy lips of dawn, which one yearns to kiss This hem of heaven's robe in joyful bliss. Come! let's gaze at gleaming stars so chaste They shine on Mother Earth through veils with haste. Let pine trees imparting scented breath Waft you along to life away from death, To sapphire streams and fields of emerald green. Let Nature's radiance reveal her sheen On the solemn beauty of your furrowed brow. True love latent in your heart, here and now, Will ever grace this sacred, monumental hour.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 So beautiful. Joining you in the awesome meadow. Creation, life's longing Sings in your words Lifts my spirits With hope in this divine hour.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Ramesh, Thankyou very much. I would love to read the poems of Thayumanavar. Not knowing any Tamil, I hear the fascinating names, and read/hear people's commentaries upon them, however, have not read any.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yes, Alan, I know about the " healing " effects of poetry. When the Iraq war started and all those images of orange skies, I dug out all my poetry texts from childhood and started reading aloud. I also understand your words of Ramana, supreme poet. Sometimes, I look at that half-smile on his face and if it is one of those moments when I should be working, but am procrastinating, I hear his voice smack my face with a word or two, and if it is a time of feeling sorry for myself, I hear his voice, asking one of his fantastic who questions. I love it that his gentleness was so upfront, so clear, with such few words, and brutal honesty. I love that story of him walking in the afternoon around Arunachala and a woman cursing at him, and he, himself, listening to the woman. I just love him.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Dear Varundra, Thank for your literary appreciation of our great Master. He completed Poems for the Muni and one for Murugana,r both celebrated Tamil Poets by thought transference. I cannot give you the reference, but perhaps Gabriele who has compiled a Biography of Bhagavan will oblige.
