Red Earth and Pouring Rain

Thanks to warmpinkglow for posting one of my favourite poems – read this one on The Wondering Minstrels a long time back. Really loved it. The original is in Tamil as you can read here. Below is the English translation.

What could my mother be
to yours? What kin is my father
to yours anyway? And how
did you and I meet ever?
But in love our hearts are as red
earth and pouring rain:
mingled
beyond parting.

It’s funny – how Pinch and I met, we probably need to thank the Universe and all allied forces! How Guruji met us – now that’s something I wonder frequently about. And today, it is impossible to think of Him not being in our lives… Such a miracle!
