I wanted something...

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.
