I
wanted something to feel
From
sea
The great seashore that gurgles at the
evening,
The scene of children playing in sand,
The reflection of sun rays as the sun
sets,
The sorrow that someone is expressing in
front of the sea and
The great expanse of sea waves full of
froth.
I
wanted something to get
From
sky
The clear, wide spread, blue,
The unexpected, funny dreams of
sky-lovers,
The clouds which throw small raindrops
on wet soil,
The colours spread by jets in chevrons,
The beauty of seven colors of rainbow.
I
wanted something to feel
From
an old, green tree
The relaxedness of a tired traveler
under a tree,
The coolness of a dark shade,
The gossip of two youngsters in a grove,
The shelter from heavy rain and sun,
The beauty when first drop of rain falls
on leaves.
I
wanted something to feel
From
life
The happiness of helping a blind on the
road,
The moment of dancing in rain,
The cry of a child, who is lost
somewhere from his parents,
The awesome bliss of a loud yell at the
top of the highest mountain,
The resigned realization at the moment
of the last breath.
