What Have I Seen ?

It is,indeed very tough to say
where to go and where is the way?
Am I wrong or,am I right?-
Probably they bother very slight.
I wonder and wonder and I think,
what have I seen,the ocean or sink?
Have I seen the deepest grief,
The hidden cry of the gray-green leaf ?
Have I seen the turns of alley ,
The alleys of life and darkest valley?
Have I seen the fight to win,
To win the lost-game just in vain;
There is their the thirst for life ,
Taking the Death just as wife!
There are few who won the game,
won but never they showed own name,
Just they got the slightest taste
Of life,for which they'd gasped in nest!
They are those,who got them changed-
But, I never could see what changed!
Have I seen the pain of Night,
Who brings for me delight of light?
I have seen just nothing on earth,
Just I can't deny the time's dearth.
Life is too small to see any thing,
Too small to see grow the cute Duckling!

  1. Wow, great poem. I don't remember reading an English poem by you.

    Life is indeed very short. But it is the shortness of life that makes it precious.
