SHINE ONCE MORE ON SCENTED ALTERS MOTHER LANKA

By, Christine Welangoda -Australia

Enrobed with power, Lord looked down to embrace you
Love of our lives glorious Mother Lanka.
Though we are people like ants, against mighty mountains,
No storm can wake thee, nor does the racing wind over take thee,

When the mountains come down, and the hills blown to dust,
The hands of our Lord will cradle you, upon the rocking sea
Day by day, and night by night, Satan's fire blows out of sight,
It's no secret we forbeared endless blows, of the Satan who ran the bloody show,

We are wary of our tears now, and we cry no more
Nor we curl up like rising smoke, to be drifted to and fro
The locust fly in great storms and little ant carry it's big eggs
We go pass weeping willows and ring the 'call bell'

Our blood turned to tears and the tears turned to dew drops
To refresh our scorched land, to spring back 'forget me nots'.
The hands rest on each shoulder, to comfort lost souls
Heavens will open, to wash away blood and cleanse our souls.

The Angels Paint the faded rainbow that falls across our teary land
The scent of murr from heaven, empower our hearts, and drift away wrong
The writings of the prophets take refuge in our dreams
The white doves serranade our hearts, to crown those pearly dreams.

Lilies of the valley bow down to 'Prince of heavenly host'
Falling dew drops sanctify our land, to lay it upon white snow
The 'Order of the wind' stands guard on our shores
For glorious Mother Lanka to shine on, 'Scented Alters' once more.

"INTO THE HEAVEN OF FREEDOM, MY FATHER, LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE
(R, Tagore)
