காலமும், கடிகாரமும்
'பூவைப்போன்றவை'!
பூக்கள் மலரும், துளிர்விடும்...
காலமும், கடிகாரமும் அதுபோலத்தான்!
கடிகாரத்தின் முட்கள்
ஒவ்வொரு மணித்துளியிலும்
புதியதாய் மலர்ந்திடும் நாட்கள்!
அதுபோல காலத்தின் முட்கள்
அவை உண்மையில்,
விவேகம் துளிர்விடும் படிக்கற்கள்!
Lifetime and clock,
Aren't they both like a flower?
Yes, both have capacity to "blossom"...
As the clock's hour hand swirls around twice
There blossoms a new day!
As the thorns that prick us all along
On our way through the jungle of life
There blossoms newer wisdom!

Note: I couldn't translate the poem from my language accurately. In my language, 'thorn' is the word that indicates both the needles of a clock as well as the thorns of a rose flower! Couldn't bring in this similarity in English.

Re: A prickly subject?
Sister,
Although you were unable to completely translate your own language into English on this occasion, simply because there are no equivalent terms available in the English language to accurately communicate the true essence of what you are trying to say, I feel that you have done a more than adequate job and therefore should give yourself due credit for making the effort to paint these eloquent pictures in our mind's eye.
Loving regards,
Brian
