For Batti(Chathurika) from Faculty of Applied Sciences, Wayamba University
Outside the glass window,
We watched the sheets of rain,
Bathing the lawn,
And the hedgerow beyond it.
Inside, we were in the shallows,
In the sea of mathematics,
About to embark,
On a long, arduous voyage.
Our captain, a sweet, plump girl,
Assuaged our fears,
And had us steer clear,
Of the rocks where we sailed.
The turbulent billows,
The angry wind,
Could hinder but not stop,
Our passage;
Affectionate threats, gentle warnings,
Along with tender scolding,
Took us to our destination,
In the nick of time,
Safe and sound.
