At times like this I wonder
The movement of life of splendour
The meaning of each breath
The closer I move towards death.
The smile of satisfaction
The passion in every action
The knowledge of loneliness
The peace to succumb in Godliness.
The innocence of the infant
The grandeur of the huge elephant
The tenderness of the flowers
The incessant rhythm of the rainy showers.
The vibrant splash of sunset
The flutter of birds towards their nest
The darkness’s rippling gown
The background yawning as it lies down.
The expanse of resounding silence
The confidence of Man’s stance
Here he stands, the Creator’s creation
No matter what, trust in God,
What jubilation!
