Cosmic Lullaby

When I close my eyes
and start to meditate with
the breaking Surya,
and see the chariot

drawn by seven horses,
maintaining life on earth,
you, born from nebula dust,
with red and yellow veins,

a thousand flowing leaves,
breathe whispers of life.

When I open my eyes,
you, my happy valley
wrap me in your rays
and in your blue garden,

where stars bloom like jasmine,
your lullaby nurtures the sky,
and melody, like the kokil’s song,
heals the heart's dark corner

and I find sukoon—
in your eternal lap, Maa!
