Velichappadu- The Village Oracle

Listen wide, Where my kin’s folksong ends, At the dusk moving parallel to the green paddy fields, Where devi’s red shawls sway along with the old man’s shriveled hair strands, He walks upright towards the light, The jingles on his sword rhymed perfectly with every cricket’s rhythm foreseeing night!
