To Mahakanadarawa with love

14 March, 2021

You bring me the joy
Your exquisite waves
Calm me down

You nurture the
Fields of mine
You make my
People full of bliss

You stand for
My security at night
Alongside the moon

You take care of
Elephants roaming
Overnight

You give my stupa
A majestic look at night
Really, a majestic look

You hide no water
Though there’s drought
In dry September

You, the Guardian
Of mine, stand for me
Forever
The trust I kept on you
Is absolute
