rangOlI powder, you are just a handful of white stuff
like the hair on my head with no purpose in this world
then she picks it up in her hands
and lets you slide through
and glide through those little gaps of her fingers
you become dots, neatly arranged in anticipation
you become lines, you become curves, you become circles
you become ideas, you become shapes, you become patterns
you become traces, you become laces, you become faces
you become dreams, you become songs, you become laughter
you become action, you become life, you become love
the bamboo becomes a flute in the dark Lord's hands
and
the rangOli becomes a prayer from here to eternity
mOhanaji, while I am reading your poem, my eyes are full with aanandha kanneer. what we feel at heart you are able to bring it out so nicely in simple words. the last two lines ....I find no words to appreciate.
