The sea is a mystery- like a woman
Water sprays form a mist
A balm that soothes pain
Like the caress
Of a woman
The sea has an aura – like a woman
Fathomless vast unsolved
In its darkness at night
Creating intrigue, stirring the mind
Like the fleeting smile
Of a woman
The sea gives life – like a woman
Feeding coaxing nurturing
All beings in her benevolence
An akshaya inspiring growth
Like the throbbing heart
Of a woman
The sea is a beacon – like a woman
Enlivening encouraging enlightening
Showing the chosen path
Gently kissing the feet of lovers
Planning a future
On the threshold of union
Slowly cleansing the karmas
Of penitents in search of moksha
Seek not nadhi moolam
Nor rishi moolam
Say our ancestors
Seek not too
To unravel
The thread that is woman
Beneath that gentle
Gossamer-fine figure
Beats a heart invincible
Powerful as torrents
Like the sea
She is a mystery
Glossary: Akshaya - inexhaustible source Moksha - salvation Nadhi moolam - the source of a river Rishi moolam - the ancestry of sages Note: It is said that one should not seek the source of rivers nor trace the ancestry of sages. This is because the river may have originated in a place where there is a lot of filth and decay. The sage may have been conceived in an illicit relationship or been born to a woman of immoral ways. Instead of reflecting on his origins, one should revere the sage for his holiness and spirituality; just as one savours the cool, clear and cleansing waters of the river, regardless of its source. പ്രഭ
