SECRET



A bird folds sky
in its wings’ spectrum----
                             wings the sources of its confidence  !

Branches of a tree beckon the sky
stretching strenuously day and night---
                                          sap green confidence in their confidence !

Years chase time
relentlessly ---
                     life, source of their inner strength!

Self-confidence, my secret---
that dazzles on dainty movements!

[Translated from Telugu by T.  S.  Chandra Mouli & B.  B. Sarojini from the volume Sarihaddu Rekha (Nov.2002) ; poem titled : Rahasyam (P.144) ]
