I want life; I want moments in ‘em

I saw the river, the one near my cottage
seems the same from years, and for years to come
Since when is it flowing, gusting as if from ages?
no one knows, no one asked her I guess

So I chose to ask her, lets unveil this secret too
near the night, a twilight I chose
Like life, Nature’s life too should have secrets to tell,
what needed is just a vigor to know

Why do you look the same? Why don’t you alter your way?
So stagnant, near motionless, seems life going astray
Reply that the river gave, so simple, so sacred yet sublime

“I seem calm, but the waters never the same,
I seem stagnant, But the lives in me as not
How can a life be called going astray when it’s giving life to many”
I learnt a lesson, a lesson worth telling…

Never let the spirit go waste, never let the flame faint
Its only one life we have, we live, we earn
Be patient, willing to learn a new lesson
Bad days are just bad teachers after all

Like the wind that flows without halt
the river touching the lands untouched
Like the days that fill ever moment in time
Life has to Learn on and on...
