Vermillion Sunrise At Kanyakumari

"A glance at the magical hues splashed into sky at dawn
Paints a picture of hope in my mind's blank canvas" ~ quote by poet


At the southernmost tip of The Peninsular India, 
where the three seas meet at the 'Triveni Sangamam', 
the blue waves hum in a surge of excitement, 
gurgling, tossing and tumbling, 
awaiting the most spectacular moment;

Anticipating the arrival of her Prince of Charm, 
the somber sky yearns for his first touch at dawn;

The mighty golden white ball ascends slowly
with his steps steady and gentle - and sees
his beloved - ravishing - and blushing  in vermillion hues
immersed in waves of euphoria
as the rising sun's first ray kindles her gloomy spirit;
with a special glow in her face hitherto not seen, 
the sky welcomes her beloved with a vermillion smile;

Cherished by the warmth of the sun's magical glow, 
the dreamy sky displays hues of hope;
In a rhythmic ballad, the waves of the three seas
sing in chorus, their tale of love.

Note:
Triveni Sangamam - A beach at the southern tip  of India in Kanyakumari, where one can witness the sangamam (meeting)  of the three seas: The Bay of Bengal, The Arabian Sea, and The Indian Ocean. The sunrise at the Triveni Sangamam in Kanyakumari is a spectacular sight.

Dear Anitha, I haven't visited this place yet, but I am very familiar with the story of the waiting bride - 'Kanyakumari". I can imagine the enchanting vermillion sky at the meeting-place of the three seas. Love and best wishes ~ Mala
