Pilava - The Bridge

 

Pilava… The Bridge

 (Pilava is the name of the Tamil New year - April 2021 to April 2022)

A bridge between the entities new and old,

That which connects the copper and gold,

At times when useful learns to become noble,

Lest the exquisite craft should become a fable.

 

A skyway between knowing n’ doing, what’s right!

A time to implement the underlying fact,

To stay on course, on the righteous rail,

As distractions divert you from the trail.

 

A viaduct connecting attachment and detachment,

To slowly let go of worldly attractions,

To better appreciate nature’s creations,

To whole heartedly carry on without anticipation.

A narrow gangplank between existing and living,

Respiration without inspiration is as good as coma,

An impetus to compel the soul to animate,

To charter a one’s own beautiful persona.

 

A catwalk that spans the acceptable and the offensive,

To stop words and actions that are aggressive,

A clear demarcation on what’s bearable,

 For hurt in mind or on the body is inadmissible.

 

Pilava – A year that bridges the past and the future,

A definitive year for all living creatures,

A period of testing skills of continuation,

A year that revives the showers of compassion.
