1.
A life changed in a single breath.
Look — life stopped for a single breath,
My heart is beating, thump by thump.
Tell me, what did you feel in that very moment?
Today, I can’t say a single word as I look.
In an instant, I rose up to the sky,
Quietly closing my eyes, just to feel.
2.
Breath of the Sea.
At times the winds caress you gently,
At times you surge, your waves overflowing.
O sea, how crystal clear you are,
A friend to the sky, playfully glowing.
For thirsty hearts, you are a balm,
Your breeze opens up my soul.
Even the world admires you,
And infinity itself loves you.
3.
Understanding Life.
There is a rule in everything
If you understand life
Believe me, living becomes easier then
Don’t burden yourself too much
In every hardship, don’t lose your temper
After all, we humans are only servants
Sometimes we make mistakes unknowingly
At times we are right, at times we are wrong.
