Ode to the Chennai Wind

I see the sea

And it looks back at me

Sending thee

For my glee

I do not seek the ocean

I do not seek the sky

All I seek is thy

So far, come, have I

From sunrise to sunset

From sunset to sunrise

You sweep the sea

Keeping the monsters at bay

The salt is the bad part

The water is worse

The warmth is all I care for

May be, maybe not

I leave thy land

I leave to meet an old friend

On me, sorcery you have done

Maybe, someday I will return
