අබ මිටක්
දුවයි ඇය, උමතුවෙන්
අබ මිටක්, අට මිටක් නොව,
සොයමින් ගෙයින් ගෙට
මිය ගියේ නැති
කිසිම, කිසි, කිසිවෙකුත්.
“උමතුවක්, මෙය රෝගයක්
නොමල ගෙයකින් අබ මිටක්!
ළෙහෙණියක් වළිගය තෙමා
සයුර ඉසිනා, වෑයමක්”
දුවයි ඇය, උමතුවෙන්
බිඳෙන පෙන බුබුළු පසුකර
මිලින රෝස පෙති නොම දැක
අබ මිටක්, අට මිටක් නොව,
සොයමින් ගෙයින් ගෙට.
“උමතුවක්, මෙය රෝගයක්
නොමල ගෙයකින් අබ මිටක්!
සසර දුක්, ගිනි ජාලා
සුසුම් ඉස, නිවන වෑයමක්.”
දුවයි ඇය, උමතුවෙන්
නොදැන ගිළිහෙනා ඇඳි වත
නොදැක ගලනා ලේ කිරි
සොයමින් ගෙයින් ගෙට
අමරණීයව සිටි අයෙක්.
“උමතුවක්, නැගණියනි, රෝගයක්
නොමල ගෙයකින් අබ මිටක්!
දෙවි බඹුන් නොවසනා, මිහිපිට
සිටීවිද, මරු මැරූ විරුවෙක්?”
දුවයි ඇය, අසු වේගයෙන්
මියෙන හිරු, දකිමින්
හැඩ වැටෙන, සොහොන අසළින්
සිඟමින් එකම එක, අබ මිටක්.
Heart touching. Beautiful write.

It was pleasure to read your impressive posts, too, Punam. However, due to instability of mind and heart that created by different outbreaks, I acknowledge that I could not write comments about your posts, which really deserve appreciative comments. At least, now on, I will do it.
