Poetry ❤

I'm very fond of reading. It is my habit to read silently every book I come across. I'm more fond of poetry anthologies than novels and short stories. A mong the poetry anthologies I have read, the book " hiruth hima piyallaka"can be identified as one of my favorite books.
     The book was written by Sir.Mahinda Prasad Masimbula and won the state award for best poetry collection in 2010. The book is written in sinhala and one of the poem included is " wisal" ( massive ). The poem has been translated into English by Malathi Kalpana Ambrose.This is one part of it.
     " In the glamorous twilight 
       as I came to see you
       I sensed, I was convinced
       It was only Galaha* road
       The biggest road in the world

        It was the day 
        The biggest rain drop in the world
        Ever fell on to the earth

       Three storied,enormous 
       The biggest university in the world 
       Was floating in a massive misty flow 
       I sent you the biggest message 
       In the world ever sent
       "I am here to see you"   ""........
That's beautiful ,isnt it? Poetry is a medicine that heals the mind ...๐Ÿ˜
