Love Tunes

Mopuru’s poem explores the symphony of nature, highlighting the beautiful connections and love that exist worldwide, exclusively for DifferentTruths.

A lonely cloud sings rain tune 
for the beloved earth.
The moon sings the song of the moonlight 
for the embrace of beloved.
The Sampangi flower sings the song of fragrance 
for her beloved honeybee.
The cuckoo sings melodious song 
for the beloved spring.
If you are able to listen, 
this world is filled with love tunes
And blissful bonding of the lovers.
