வானத்து தாரகையின் கண்களிலிருந்து.. தாரை தாரையாய்.. The Crying Bride in the Sky

எப்படி ஒரு கற்பனை.. என்ன அழகான கவி மழை.. இப்படியும் யோசிக்க முடியுமா.. யோசித்துப் பார்த்து ஒரு கவிதாஞ்சலியை தீட்டியுள்ளார் நம்முடைய தீபலட்சுமி.. படிச்சுப் பாருங்க.. அசந்து போய்ருவீங்க!

Up in the sky, a cloud looks like a bride,

Wearing a veil, glowing soft and wide.

She is beautiful, calm, and bright,

But her heart feels heavy with pain tonight.

She looks down at the world below,

Sees women suffering, moving slow.

They hide their tears, they hide their fear,

Their silent cries no one wants to hear.

Some are hurt by cruel hands and words,

Some are treated worse than birds.

They face abuse, shame, and fright,

Struggling every day and night.

The sky-bride’s eyes fill up with tears,

For all the pain she sees and hears.

Her tears fall down as gentle rain,

Crying for women living in pain.

“O world,” she cries, “be kind and fair,

Respect all women everywhere.

Let them live safe, proud, and free,

Then my tears will turn to smiles,” says she.
