CARNIVAL
Lost self amidst nature
awakens,
Pleasure, peace, entertainment
shaken,
Darkness misses physical shape,
Convinced exist resists to
escape, (1)
Glow worms chandeliers, bright,
The moonlit sky is a million
stars sight,
Crickets play music continuously,
Nightingale sings stay
melodious, (2)
Blowing a gentle breeze
soothing,
Unearthly situation, life
inspiring,
The river bends here, waters
silvery,
Invisible a boatman waves
ivory, (3)
Flute boatman plays pervading,
Tune touch labyrinth unnerving,
As if imbibed with human owes,
Symbolizes the boat, life
shows, (4)
Felt dews soaked skin
symbolizes,
Sorrows human tears solemnize,
Jasmine, fragrant, acute
smells,
Console soul, encourage swells,
(5)
Lined up homes slept lives
well,
Window closed lighted time
tell,
Empty road, bark dog,
disappear,
Street corner a man of age
here, (6)
Slept shivering cold night
alone,
Lost his family, root, time
mourn,
Collected his old bones
comfort,
He accompanied me, with effort,
(7)
Offered him some food, hot,
care,
He was hungry, happy look,
share,
Spread bed sheet, bed prepare,
Covered him with blanket care,
(viii)
The night was a carnival for
me,
Witnessed human life yet theme,
Infinite happiness, pleasure
stay,
Endless beauty creator dismay,
(9)
Succulent with sorrow, life
hope,
Boatman plays flute, tears a
drop,
Don't cry, human, ecstasy
exists,
Carnival the Lord staged
persists, (10)
Fate fortune failure in
carnival,
Luck name and fame if interval,
Memorable the mesmerizing
night,
The unfortunate man stays in
spite. (11)
