Part 4  anavarana poetry collectionLselective translation):

Opening(anavarana):
Photo of gandhiji  ceremony of openin
Was done(carried out) in this town ,trick (chodya) of this news
On seing in news paper  I stood wondered
Amrutha hand of minister done all these!

Ceremony of opening of photo of gandhiji!
To one who has no avarana(covering) why is this opening!
Putting non existing screen to gandhiji’s face
Later removal  play to our  land people!

Opening carried out  to  gandhiji’s photo!
Speeches  were done ,stage collapsed
flower garlands rolled to spoken  necks
gandhijhi’s photo  hjoinhed shadow of  spider’s net!

Gandhhiji’s photo were opened
Dead gandhi might have cried to this peculearity !
First opening should be done to our hheart
After opening ceremony  be ready for punishment
……………………………end………………………….

This poetry:
This poetry is is not  reboud of
Some female’s eye light rays
 Not creeped by embracing
False   creeper of love tune.

Not youth   intoxicated (excited) ugly illusions
Putting dress of monkey  tying  dancing
Missed step around  on hill bh accident
 Not pouring  waterfalls.

Since many days pouring  rain downing (getting down)
Hhor inner heat moderately  softly sleeping
Digging wall ,running couple(yatha)
 Brought  this raga
………………………….end…………………………..
Beware of dogs:
;beware of dogs’
to whose caution this board   !
house standing in  middle is beautiful
fine is this garden
is attracting eye  in  lime and colour
this surrounding compound.

But suddenly pecking eye
 near door only this board
  ‘there are dogs  beware’  
To whose  cautiousness this board

Is it  for thieves or for liers
Or for coming disturbing  people
Attention of  world is towards this house
Is it  for technique of publicity!

To those who come for begging
Is there any letters knowledge?
by reading  understanding   that ,following
are not  that  forward  our pople 

really if there are dogs
will anybody  tell these matters!
Towards  those who come,sympathy or fear
what might   be  it’s  meaning?

May be both inention of this board;
Really these people are great
May be dogs in everybody’s house
How many people will tell this!
……………………………..end…………………………

My umbrella:
This umbrella is mine to this and me long time relation
In rain summer this is continuous friend
Not only umbrella  but question mark!
Holding this question there are
No days which I have not tread.
Life without question  is it life?
I have no desire for searching   for complete rest
Folded under that question
  opening  shadow of  doubt is my like!

Ladies umbrella is sign of exclamation
By that only  for those that much  of colour-show off
From question to exclamation
Has spread life  between two umbrellas
For male female is a  wonder
suitable for that is umbrellas shape
in this also might be plan of  doer
……………………………….end…………………….

Night of    eight planets union:(astagraha kuta)
Bhajans through  out night
When eight planets have united
What  how thinking
Bhaians through out night!

Suddenly earth quaking ,house-matas
Becoming will be powdered
The sky will fall ‘rup’
And will be very risky(troublesome)
roaring storm all will fly away like  dry leaf
mass of clouds  calling thunder –lightning
will burn off
by seing various  forms of fears
now they are doing bhajans-sathvikas

daily as we have seen these are
first class belonging thieves!
Does god yield to  japa(chanting) of jeeva thieves?
 On completion of this one day next morning
Their kind of devotion
Like a bamboo  removed tail!
Tomorrow when   they know that earth is safe
Till next astagraha kuta returns
who will control (catch)them?
………………………..end………………………….
Wishes:
Don’t be dirt(jondu) as the bottom of valley child
By imbibing hills become teak
Without bowing(bending) head stretching  branches
 Become cradle of rain-sun-air

Chest responding towards sea ,flowing intoten directions
Don’t make to absorb in any sahara
You settle at one place ,build dams
Make barren land around  green

Don’t become a pond with green  algae(pachi)
Become pleasant  pure water’s  lake
sun ray responding fishes-flowers-birds
Become archestra of  humming of bee

For time being no no leave distant hill top
Standing beyond snow calling star
first give oil and wick to existing lamp
Don’t disturb grains of old  grain store(panatha,kanaja)

Don’t rise and see  littleness of big people
Leave them aside that side
From spoiled bricks don’t  build new house
peak of tomorrow’s desire you are to us
………………………………..end……………………………..
On poet ravindra(from poetry collection ‘open way’)

Below star eye silver cloud of beard
from there to here  wearing
long gown of lights standing
in chest offire morning evening
dipping air brush writing  thousands of  figures

to many feels of dumb heart
making to wear colour shirts
made to dance tying leg chains

from twinkling dew drop to burning star
playing all strings of wonder existing
o   poet supreme
tou are son of talent
…………………………end……………………..
Woman(stree)
In sky blue
In moon star cradle
 balanced by keeping light

in green wearing hills
flowing river of breast milk
 made to laugh (open)field green

curly hairs of tree,plant ,flowers
smearing figure of cool air
 made to hold bird  toy(gilaki)

wearing lamp in house and house
feeding rice from time to time
embracing father child

do you want other name
is it enough if called ‘stree’(woman)
……………………………end………………………

  (From poetry collection ‘wall’)
Wall:at times between you and me
Suddenly wall rises
From somewhere brick  coming on brick
Sits burns us
Building wall around

Full of rised wall red eye ,red mush(mustache)
Below mush     bent lip  bad mouth
Spits fire.

Then
I and you grown flower garden
Pouring water by you and me gets heated (over heated)
And smoke  appears
In smoke blocking breath
I and you
On both sides of wall
Roll  and suffer.
Intense air sounds around house
Black night sitting suddenly
Opening teeth of stars sounds
Hearing shout(cry) of hen
 You un thhhhat side of wall
Me on this side
Waiting forthhe wall to dissolve
Sit.
……………………………….end………………………………..
My lamp:
I also light lamp
Not withhhh chhhhallenhge of winning over this dark;
Countless boats of  deepavali
Drowning melting in it
The lamp which I lit is permanent
No illusion of this kihd.

I also light lamp
Not with desire of walking from  dark to light
From dark to dark hhhhhave comesteps-searching
Since centuries
In the middle wanting some light
Now and then striked  match stick
Weared lamp(deepa mudisiddeve)
Veda,scripture,epics,history,,poetry,sciences
match  stick-explosives(crackers)-suru   suru wick- flower arrow
we have burnt
telling from dark to light
found only asjes at end

I also know to this dark
Endless  thirst.
Hhow ever hmuch light it dresses,wears.
Eats ,drinks it still requires more
Desire of needing still.

Still I also light lamp
Not with illusion of going beyond dark
Till we stay,my face you ,your face me,
Can be seen only one  desire
After lamp is put off ,who you are
And who I am
…………………………….end…………………………..
Waste:
No we and you do not join
face to face ,chest to chest bringing closer
did never talk
between us always air,rain,mud;
 falling rolling wire poles
existing bridge breaking
vehicles  on that side thay side only
this side vehicles this side only

closed window
,under smoke hit roof
Seing face in broken mirror
Hitting ,felling buds blossoming  in plants
Covering in shell of tortoise  sounding
Making head sounding  spoiled temple
putting off burning lamps
searching in dark stretching hand
dialing to wrong number
wait for answer  sitting.
…………………………end…………………………..
Consciousness:
What pot plant knows
Living consciousness of motherland water
Daily recurring driped
Tap water.
Manure brought from  shop and put
In that onlyopening one or two leaves
Giving four six flowers only is celebration
In cage of zoo spreading feather
Dancing  peacock’s illusion.

 Rain came day and night
Embracing around house,,leg fixed
Green tree tree  plants
From head hair to root
Storm-thunder-lightning,all driping
In nerves and nerves some group son
By embrace of sky ground  becoming soft
New experience of  bath-drink.

Rain-lightning-storms procession
Moving in ups and downs sky steps
But still this pot plant of house field(angala)
Has no consciousness  of great experience of sorrounding
Floars experience.this in one orphan home of pot
Compulsively brought lively innocent child.
Some how breaking pot
keep it’s root on ground
keep it’s lip to mothers breast milk.
………………………..end……………………

Thi.num.sri:if seen like as much as you see
Limited  talk,sure, firm.

Symbol of clean discipline
Appearing each art work is blessed

Unsatisfied researcher of totality
Desirable combination of  talent-scholarship

In sea of doubt lamp of tower
To soundless    achievement   lively  form

How can other grow  upto your height?
Garland in  neck of kannada.
………………………….end………………………..
Nacked:
From epochs and epochseven
Light is worn(made to wear)  on light
At last onlydark.
Even tearing cloth overanother
Cloth,nacked uncoverabl.
To this nackedness of darkwho
Will make to wear and finish!

Since centuries coming out from
Within myselfto standind nackeds
Made to wear shirt of words

Even  while  making to wear  each shirt
Appears   different type
Still coming standing nackeds
Again again who will make to wear
Shirt of words(speech)and finish!
………………………….end………………………….

 To moon:
O   moon now you are faded duplicate coin
Your that prosperity got by epics
Greatness of sixteen  kalas(marks)
Now you are breathless  greenless
Barren field .this truth after coming out is not feasible.

No poet can next compare you to face of beloved
Can live happily
Next coming children calling you as chandamama
Is also doubtful.

Till now found   along with mark of animal(deer)
Boot mark of    America is seen on your cheek
Devotees will get you down from head knot of shiva
Priests  will send you awayduring worship of navagraha(nine planets)

Still the respect  I had  towards you  doubled
First to our baked chest joy of moonlight pouring
There is obstacle by this.
second anyway  rather than you  our this earth is beautiful
for giving this experience.
………………………………..end……………………….

Towards empty site:
Towards empty site without anything
One day come and fall
Jelly stones,sand,cement,bricks
Iron materials .

Torn cloth  dry fixedstick legged
Labours day and night
Carry.

Slowly rise wall,window,roof,-completed house
Swing to  door  green thorana.
Labours building house ,on finishing
Standing beyond  sick sarees
Begging,wait for feast of house
Opening ceremony ,for little

On built up house sunlight-rain-moon lights playing
From   kitchen  funnel smoke boils
 swinging cradle
people coming and going
chaddi(nikers),skirts, become dhothi-pant- sarees

syraight backs  becoming bent
elderly people with walking stick
oneday will be carried away-outside
without anything towards  distant  empty site
………………………..end……………………………
One night:  
 Just now five minutes back
Rain pouring  whole ground wet
What came stoping like that only
In  the sky above if seen
Not even a single cloud!
In curved lip of naughty moon
 some what  stammering.in all sky
     below  this  whatever had  happened
 so far ,and itself no reaction
such pose of goodness
after pissing(passing) urine on mother’s saree
this child is laughing
as  though not knowing  anything
…………………………….end…………………………………..
Wanted:
Tearing lagamu(control)
Grazing any where
Holding  all these horses,taming
Putting control,tying to this bigchariot
Easily conductable (drivable) 
Horse rider is very much needed

Holding all these chamelians
Changing colour  every minute
Never changing   permanent colour bringing
 Injection giving
Doctor gentleman
Is urgently needed.

Always hiding in big words  in hole(bila)
Their little  sizes
Transferring in side secretly
Whatever is grown  by others
Between lip-food
Becoming a tragedy fattened in between
Catching big ratsand rodents
Cage constructing
Skillful  worker   needed

Without rooting any where
Windind around whatever got
Yielding peculiar  flower-fruit—nuts
Cutting all these  bandalike(…………)   plants
Rooting in our land
Making to drink juice of this soil
cross breeding  gardener
is needed essentially

establishing industrial centres of  fake coins
making genuine coins not to rise their head
 bringing over economic  values  to mismanagement
  shining in in claps-garland-procession
bringing out high   intellects  into public
high investigative leaders  are needed.

Put application:what is wanted is 
sincerity and  strength.
Ours:
Standing at distance only,laughing  with curved smile
Will disappear behind burning cigarets
By cutting others pocket
Crediting to their own account
Will wander in nooks and corners in silence
 Among ten members  gathered in middle of sqare
Will chik-chat  in  front of  their pudaries(……………….)
Blowing   pipes in hands of  peechus(little ones)
Thhhey clap.

Gathering in meeting secretly on attic(atta)
Eating international newses
By keeping in plate
Often they will  taste     one one  line
Of Vedas,Upanishads
By pressing him and them
Making pan chew and spit

By searching in darkness  thinking  that
All lights will glow(enlight) by their own switch
Stepping up steps in midnight
Knocking the house door
Spoil sleep.
……………………………….end………………………..
Everyday(daily routine):
Bird nests upon branche branches
On ground houses  along street
congested towns,by rising up
stairs on stairs.

Soon after evening people
Come back to house  and family runs
With noise of wheels  hiding bright lamps
Burn –through out night  changelessly.(nirvikara)
In nest and nests ,birds
Sounding ,flying their wings pata pata
Wait for morning.

Early morning egg of dark  breaking
Light sitting with it’swings spread
Wings,legs,wheels
Start moving again and again
…………………..end………………………..

Four words:
For  rope  of hundreds of lights
 Without threads
Becoming horse pulling  front and back
Don’t search.

To words of hundreds of mikes
 By giving your ears don’t become
Deaf to your inner voice.

By carrying   on shoulder tails of those and these as club
Don’t make part of bandalike(………………..) bhima.

By digging ,recovering, yourself by yourself
Holding to furnace fire of workshop
Till welding according to your wish
Don’t keep quiet.
…………………………….end……………………………
Openion(niluvu):
I don’t want to live  hiding
That does not mean I will open and  keep
All mine for  tender.(bid)

Thinking big words
To insult to  daily  simple ordinary life
I don’t like such people.

According to swinging crowns
Changing shape of head
 I have no practice of wandering.
Some how I will live by myself
By pouring water to existing land and
phloughing ,seeding
will make sleeping seeds to open eyes
tomorrow these flowers becoming banyan trees
 though not with great dream of
giving light to thousands of people
 believe  and  wait for fruits   that
they  give one or two seeds
………………………….end…………………………
Sunday:
Today  is Sunday
Flowing river  standing still as pit
The plants,trees,creepers, on my bank
Reflecting
Some what consolation.

No such hurry
Extention can be given
To morning sleep
Grown up beared  can wait for
An   hour  or two.
At least  this one day
Hurry steps of coming going
Growing tails of queues  rolling wfeels
Phones,files,without  problems
Falling there only I can be myself.

This eye
Having reserved ticket to  other world
Not waiting for train
In waiting room of  this world(iha)
For my growh(development,progress)
I need not  bribe any god
as much as possible on these roads
I have  weared and teared my wheels rubbing
This one day pour some oil
 To  stagnant   wheels joints.

 How much fine beyond window
Thin floating cloud in blue(sky)
Below  is only one hill,on hill top
Only one tree with it’s head (hair)spread
Looking as though all havetakenleaves(holidays)
this relaxation.

 One such onemomentof Sunday
Might have done eternal (nityha)
mminds of saints-siddhas
if seen like that in this onemoment
I am also a siddha
Or Buddha little below.
……………………………..end……………………….
To sri feet of siddhaganga:
At the time of opening of morningLike rise of kindness of hara
Divine mood of veda ghosha  washing mind slowly
The sound of coming of  paduka of guru echoing in silence
Land-water  of siddhaganga bows and stands simply.

In mibble of hill –rock plants and treeas have  risen (lifted) for worship
Worshiping  arathi of temple  bell sound touching sky
Dhupa  scent (fragrance)slow air along with mind
Rising celebration  morning downs(gets down) to siddhaganga piligrimage.

Here there is no wonder of magics or noise of procession
Risen head is simple ordinary power of life
Above that is flag of  renunciation  Calls waving hands the trvellers.
In supreme   unwantedness daily service of all.

Bag of jangama has gone for  bhiksha(begging)  protecting lakhs of people
Has become holy (thirtha) to devoteeshas become even spirit to  intellect
Has donated light to coning lamp  with oil and wicks
Has brcome protection to  so many wings arisen to sky

  The achievement without noise  and soung has risen to gadduge(stage) here
The words ‘work is worship’ has appeared in  deeds
Wearing saffron(kavi) sky has stretched  rayful hand
The feeling’all are ours’ has opened eyes of  kindness(grace)
…………………………………end…………………………………….
I(nanu):

I am centre of dark
Through this song of light
Is spreads some one
Moon whom I have not seen

Sthis song where ever touched,sudden  lamp (panju)of light
In front  of Searching  walking step
Opening road  will make to walk
Praised many people.

But still no light to me
I am only  publicity centre
The moon ,I have not seen
Through  this passes  ray of song
I in dark covered light often
heard it’s  echo(repletion)
………………………..end…………………………


Search:
Searched some where non existing god
In temple of  stones and soil
Could not recognize love-friendship
Existing here in ourself
  
 Where is garden where is bondage
All are in ourselves
If inner clarity is not disturbed
Tongue  has  taste of  amrutha

Though near stand apart(far)
In fort of our ego
 How difficult is adjustment
In this life of four days.
………………………….end……………………..

Which is this flood?:
Which is this flood ?
Drinking washing away houses  and   mind
 Running hissing
Which is this flood?

Temple towers are rolling(down)
Old statues are floating
Light off  torn  strings(wires)
Archestra is paining(suffering)

The bridges between chests  and chests
 Have broken down
Valleys of fear –doubt-tumults
Valleys are open.

 Face and face are wearing
 Mask and standing
In spoken words
Heart is not seen.
…………………….end………………………

Yours only is land:
Yours is land yours is water
Your’s sky
No space  for even
A little doubt.

These rivers for centuries
 Grown dream is yours
These people shedding sweat
Earned reality is your’s
Across border to explosive bomb
Given chest is yours
 In peace of Himalaya
Risen head is yours

Rising on shoulder  hundreds of desires
The path walked is your’s
Hopes of coming days
Responsibility  of  growth is yours.
…………………………….end…………………….
Jasmine:
Here grew jasmine
Surrounding all  ten directions  creeped slowly
The net of fragrance has spread
Now from where to where!

Here grew jasmine
Water of hundred feelings
Mixed to pit aroundroot(plant)
To plan made by all five elements holding hand in hand
From ten directions  have come from requests of hundred bees!

Have grew jasmine here;
built fence around  waited
for our beautiful garden
ours is garden;fence is ours;
will fence prevent fragrance?
Flied and gone ,spread
To wind blown directions
somewhere some body  say ‘aha’
satisfaction to mind.

To sri scientist:
Namo namo to sri scientist||

Piercing secret of universe
Searching for latent truths
Achieving   goodness to life
 Namo namo to sri scientist

Diging sacs of time and place
Treading path of  planet systems
Fixing(hoisting) flag of adventure  siddhi
Namo namo to sri scientist

Knocking the doors of  questions always
Opening the ray of  new  wonders
Dedicating life for realization
Namo namo to sri scientist

Pachi(………………..) removing ignorance
bringing flood of power of enquiry
extending the circumference of  knowledge
namo namo to sri scientist.

From poetry collection ‘in dark of forest’(kadina katthalalli):

Ear talks:
Always walking on strings
Having seen you,to me wonder
Fear and pity

I walking on ground
Can’t compete with you
Instead,I wish you not o fall
Even if fallen  let there be
No much pain.i wish
Above this ,I am helpless
…………………………….end……………………
To few:to few desire of
Becoming huthathmas;
For that they  blow                                 
 To whatever seen
Still life does not go
Some reduction will be
In body energy!
……………………………end…………………..

In mouth:
Who has kept in his mouth
Industry of footwearHe lives by treading all

Who has grown in his hmohuth
A flower garden
 Is unavoidable for him always
Disturbance of naughty cattles.
……………………end……………………
Murder:to kill somebody else
No easy other than that
It is very difficult  to get oneself killed
To kill others is every body’s desire
……………………………end…………………….
For these few:
For these few
Sound of coins is bells ringing
Sweet which others  have poured
For this same  is holy  water(thirtha)
By seing the interest  growing in banb
Romantic
To rise principal   to worry
Chanting- penance-yoga
Money desease.

In this nation:
In this nation
All should change
Thoroughly
But  chair which I have sit ,some   ground below
Should remain as it is.

To this nation
Caste-creed-religion
Should all go away
But there should be some seat reservation
 for our  forward class.

In this nation
Person worship  family pride
Should all stop.
But
The income (inamathi)
For gadduge of house  god
Should not be canceled

In this nation
All should stop talking
And keep quiet.
But
To words I speak always
Open ears and nod.
…………………….end…………………..
Bad dream:
Found
So many kind of people  becoming whatever
Great statue of gommata  standing
Melting  as mud  flowing I found.

Iravatha of indra  attacked by tonacha(insect)
Rolling in ashes as street dog ,found

Brightly  burning  speeches
Converting into  mere ashes quietly,found

Rising of seven hoods to ordinharh snhake
Plaing  in  water of  manasa lake,found

Gun(rifle)arising in  safron(kavi)
To  kill himself  by himself  found

Some white  fans of Saraswathi  temple
Becoming broomstick of minister’s  house,found

 Standing nacked around snake house(hutta)
Found serpent worshippers pouring milk and hee

Found writers who built matas
And becoming jagadguru for stubbornness only

On great seats  small people
Ound running as  rats and rodents

 Found and awoke
Awareness is   burning as ball of burning coal.
………………………………….end……………………

News livers:
Few are afraid of  being lost
That is   why  always sit
In front   seat chair
Or position (stage) of  presidentship.
Halahalisuttare(………………) ,in front of others
As smiling
Shaking hands,a gentleman  of  courtesy(politeness)
Becoming  a  news  daily

They are news makers
Won’t get sleep to all these
Without discussing about themselves
If there is no news which they have
Spoken in news papers.

 By knocking doors  by themselves rush in
To various forums(institutions)
For to make,for claps,poking jirafe neck
To garland  which they may get

Those who are slent get rusted
Worry slightly
Sweat in fear of being forgotten
Embracing  whatever is got
Float along flood.

Communism:
Wicked heros lose
In dramas or poetry
In reality their’s is grand
Main roll

It is waste to  talk of
Regarding values
And principles
When they have held  all control(formula)

Swhere environment is  corruptiveThere  
 Where is value for innocence,reality
And goodness
Though presentonly pupil rarely
Holding,beating him 
Painting black to face
Playing pipe,doing procession
To push him into  roppa (stable)
Always ready
Like this is firming(fixing)
War of communism.

My words:
People around me
And near by
Don’t listen to  words     
Which I speak
Even if heard  won’t  understand
Even if understood
What they understand  is not what I told
This is situation!
If I talk in front
Of others,will it be understood tell?
…………………………..end……………………
Man-animal:
Now a days I feel often
Animals are better than men(humans)

 Dogs don’t bark behind
After eating in front

Tigers with full stomach
Won’t eat another

Snakes unless irritated  won’t bite
Cows won’t struggle (try) for any position(status)
Donkey’s remember
And does not kick.

When will vasantha appear(rise):
When will vasantha rise?
To this  bald life of crores of people
When will vasantha come?

From centuries centuries of  silence of magha(winter)
Peeling attacks of hundreds of winds
To life with fallen leaves  giving chest
When will vasantha rise?

Enlighting new desire to dried up chests(heart)
Fountaining  faith in branch and branch
Holding spirit  in  nonliving(jada)
When will vasantha rise?

In dark making  missing directions
In crores of eyes of put off (withering)desires
 Of feeling of light, love success
Wnen will  vasantha appear?
………………………….end……………………..
In kerala:
Dense countless single legged coconut
Spreading feathers in between banks
Boats have responded.cool,melodious to eye,
wet lands have  slept in golden sun light
on streets of towns rising downing
ribben road(curved) ,side,behind
eyes of women of kerala  black knot. 
Spreading full black magic of light and shadow
Here and there on series of lines of  dense forest
Play of clouds-some kind of magic.
………………………….end……………………….

Why    I write?:
Why I write
As I can’t keep quiet
To record my
Pains and sensations.
Actions and reactions
To flow forward
Without becoming stagnant
To mix with all.

I write to
Find myself by myself
Again to reappear
To converse with you

I write
For joy,pain
 For anger and madness
Or for the spark which can’t be put off
……………………………….end……………………
Your smile:
Your smile
Writes rangoli to early morning
Downing (getting down) as sun beam in middle of dense forest
Plays on the waves of sleeping pond
Opening eye of bud,in cradle of tree and tree
Pating the throat  of sleeping birds becomes
Gold to knot of hill.

Your smile
Sows,grows  wonders full of childerns
Opened many eye.
Thrusting udders milk drinking calves
Body becomes enthusiastic.
Flowing julu julu along water of  river-pond
Dashes to sea bank
Full bank of coconut play opening feather.

Your smile
Becomes rain bow in chest of male
In evening face of  old people spreads
Shadow of clouds.swing above
Burning dead  bodies in graveyards.
………………………..end………………………….

To sri kuvempu:
I stand and rememberin silence
New births ,secrets which I got from you

You taught me to stand straight rising head
To walk fearlessly  without giving way to troubles
To live silently.

How many keys you have donated
With kindness.have opened many
Doors within me ;
Tied kankana (………………….)of kannada
To my hand hand and blessed.

Standing beyond  sound of noisy pipe
Remember in silence with honour.

Have   embraced  me around
As firm starry sky
I have sit in boat,opening map(chart)
Putting new rows  which you have given.
