Life

Susanta Acharya / Sydney, Australia

I felt like a bird on wings
When I saw the meadow along the coast of my village
With green grasses and tall trees
With tasty fruits and fat flees
With large mountains and pretty seas.

I saw the leaves drenched in rain

And the drops dripping down leaf-tops
Were adoring like crystal.
I felt like flying across the wide blue sky
Among the grey clouds
Where my fellows lie.

Today I felt the need of life
And the need of the Sun and the Moon
I realized the motion between stars
And want to be there soon.

Animals are closer to me
Friends are important
Family is dearer
And God the most wanted
I have had an achievement today—
Understanding what it means to be me
Yes, I have realized the meaning of life to see….

Therefore, look around you and appreciate what you have
As this life comes only once.
