The day heads off to a close
more or less the work is over
it is time to wind up and close.
For a while Ramu hovers
runs to catch the train
seeing the sharp showers.
It is a heavy rain.
he is caught in the downpour
misses the train.
The rain lashes in a roar
Ramu is stranded
cannot run as before.
He stands
in the rain for a time
then walks in the marshy land.
The temple bell chimes
he enters the shrine
into the Hundial he inserts a dime.
The deity shines
resplendent in its gold kavasams
Ramu is on cloud nine.
