Opinion
Nalini S. Kariyawasam – A personification of charming magnanimous lady
Third month remembrance
As a Buddhist she followed the precepts with care
Instances where she missed them were rare
She always tapped the goodness of people
Never jealous, never prejudiced or never gossiped with others
Our home was the MAHAGEDERA for all relatives
A sensitive heart is wider than the universe
At the village, she was at home with kith and kin
Fulfilling all chores with respect won
Sometimes we agreed to disagree with some issues real
But she accepted the decisions with a refined smile
I see her everywhere but not physically anywhere
Light of life has gone out leaving us in emptiness
No language has words to render
The feeling of the heart so dear
How can one forget the swelling memory river
As rhymed ‘sada me sansare ape hamuvima nowe’
Is a truth about the ‘Sansaric’ process so clear
But let us wish to attain the Supreme bliss of Nibbana together.
