ඇයිද ලුනු රස?
සයුර,
නුඹ ඇයිද
මෙතරම් ලුනු රස?
කෙසේ නමුත්,
එය කදිම උපායකි.
නොඑසේ නම්
ඒ පිපාසිත මිනිසුන්
ඔබ කෙතරම් විසල් වුවත්
ඔබ කෙතරම් රුදුරු වුවත්
විකුණනු නිසැකයි
ඔබා ඔබ
ප්ලාස්ටික් බෝතලයකට.

Also, I like that you have included the version of this poem in your native language even though I cannot understand it. The letters are very beautiful and I am sure that your followers from Sri Lanka will know it all.

In my recent vacation …water from sea came to me while swimming – a salty one. That GOD it tasted that way or else your poem would not existed. Very thoughtful and well expressed.
