Neelakurinji

A warm fragrant breeze

A lovely treat for honeybees

Has welcomed people from far and wide, Crees to Greece

To the land of Munnar, where the kiss of peace will never cease

The green hills, in its blue attire

Gives birth to a soulful new desire

To cherish the beauty of nature

Endlessly forever and ever in the future

This natural charm, innocence and beauty

In abundance, is brought by Kurinji

Adorning Munnar is this rarest of flower

Bringing to rest petty squabbles and war.

Mushrooming in the hearts and mind

In the quest for peace and joy, wanting to unwind.

Enticing and mesmerizing is this exquisite splendor

Bewildered and speechless, it makes me wonder.

Could it be only my imagination

Or indeed, God's marvelous creation?

Seems so ordinary, these Kurinji flowers

Exuding fragrance, akin to perfumes of France.

Feel proud and special, for in this heavenly abode of Munnar

After twelve long years, reappears in full bloom,

This enchanting, magical Kurinji flower
