An artist with his delicate strokes
gives life to the vast emptiness of a white canvas
Your company so pleasing; sweeps away the bleak times;
Filling my life with flawless days long to last.

When the moon’s mellow stream of light spills over a lake,
the motionless gloom transforms into a splendour of gleaming silver ripples
I feel a veil of beauty cast over me
With your selfless image in my eyes.

Like a healing cure instilled upon
Aches pains twists and strains
Your kind words soothe my wounds, age-long scars
giving me the strength to cope andface strife yet to come.

A channel with its humble generosity feeds the paddy
to thrive with golden crops
Your unpretentious wisdom flourishes me within
You offer me the jewel of complacency

You are the sky boundless with unforeseeable wonders;
I am a blue lily bloomed in the tropics
And waits to soak my petals in your showers
And kissed by your sunshine smile.
