You know it is a big change

(3387) Ami chilum base tomari ashe

I'd been waiting in just Your anticipation;
You did not arrive, not a word did You speak;
Futile was my water-pot's mango leaves;
Vain became all garlands strung of longing.

Toward a cozy nest at glow of dusk the bird speeds;
Seeing the moon, a lily rises neath twilight's reddish gleam.
On this my evening, You fathom the mind's affliction.

Darkness-wrapped the sun, at eastern mountain^[1] it's not there;
But the dawn's crimson streak, forgetting aught did not leave.
As You are listening, You understand anxious confusion.
