හලොඕ - මරණය මිමිණුවේ

කඳුකරයට වේලාසනින් අඳුර කැන්දන්නයි මිහිදුමේ වැයම,
කිරිගල්පොත්ත තරණයෙන් පසු පට්ටිපොළට පැමිණි අපට
ආපසූ යාමට දුම්රියට කල් වැඩි විණි.
තවත් කොහේ හෝ ගොස් ඒමට යෝජනා ආබැවින්
Mini Rail hike එකක්‌ යැමට තිරණය විය.

No 18 බිං ගෙය වෙත ළඟා වන විට,
ගොම්මන් අඳුර තනියට පාලු කපන්නට එබිකම් කළේය.
දුරකතන ආලෝකයෙන් බිං ගෙයි  අඳුර මකන්නට
පොර බදිමින් අප එයට ඇතුල් විය.
දිය බිංදු දොවනයෙන් හා වැහි කුරුළු පිහිටෙන්
rail පිලි ලිස්සන සුළු නිසා සෙමින් අප
බිං ගෙය මැදට පමණ ළඟා විය.
හදිසියෙම
"කෝච්චියක් එනවෝ !!!"

Everyone panicked,
Everything suddenly went dark,
Like the moment before the curtains open on stage,
Light on but this time from behind,
I and the crippled dog was alone,
on the rails,
When you looked behind,
A thousand kilos weighted stallion was rushing towards you.
It was that few second of moment,
Where we feel like time froze.
Death or alive ?
I heard someone scream my name,
And I jumped there,
Faced towards the train,
watching it passed by.
With nameless feelings in mind.

Yes finally all of us went out,
also the three dogs,
who were with us whole the rail hike.
Nobody was injured but,
covered with ashes.

It was not an adventure park fun,
Where you were assured to be safe,
It was a moment of conflict and survival,
One second mistake will
Send you home in a grocery bag.
It was moment of yourself,
There was no drama,
We became who we are

Yes that may hurt somebody's hair,
A tight catch or slippery ashes may not nice,
But in the end of the day,
We were happy about our batch,
In the moment of need,
We took care each other.
Also girls you may not heard from them,
Boys were impressed about your reactions.

The night mail came,
Took us from that place,
That we may not forget till death.
