LIFE AND I
Life sends me an invitation
‘ Let’s have a conversation’
I decline without hesitation-
‘ I need not your explanation’.
Enough conversation I have had
With my own heart---in every season--
Words are but shadows of truth, they cajole
Must everything have a reason?
I should be as empty
As the open sky
I should dwell in wordless nature
I should not ask: Why?
How calm is the dusk
How serenely does the night fall
I wake, I work, I sleep, I dream---
Only that I know---it’s my all-in-all.
Written in the tram to the city
Life sends me an invitation
‘ Let’s have a conversation’
I decline without hesitation-
‘ I need not your explanation’.
Enough conversation I have had
With my own heart---in every season--
Words are but shadows of truth, they cajole
Must everything have a reason?
I should be as empty
As the open sky
I should dwell in wordless nature
I should not ask: Why?
How calm is the dusk
How serenely does the night fall
I wake, I work, I sleep, I dream---
Only that I know---it’s my all-in-all.
Written in the tram to the city
