Finding Meaning In Life

Those fairy beauties are drifting away, Life's gift fading away, One by one. And in tandem with their pace Every cell of my body is withering Slowly, but surely. No, no; I don't want to be sad, I don't want to lose hope. I must sharpen my sense To perceive What is otherwise not that perceptible. I must. This blue sky This rainbow This golden dusk This misty morning This smiling flower This tune of flute May flourish in my heart Anew With new meaning engraved in them. What else could I live for? How else could I give meaning to a life That is otherwise losing meaning Little by little? Beauty of life is all about Finding meaning in things That is otherwise meaningless. I must train Yes, I must myself again and again To find that meaning. © Arun Maji
