Poem

One day, while walking in the park,
 I met an old man sitting on a bench,
 looking up at the blue sky.
 I sat next to him. He looked at me
 Like I was his son or a friend.

 Why do you look at the sky? I asked.
 His wrinkles smiled. 
 The sky, he said, has been here 
 since before I was born.
 And the moon, and the clouds, and the stars 
 are beautiful to me. 

 Then he looked at the huge tree on his right,
 a bird sitting on the trunk, twittering.
 He listened merrily and happily
 And he said...this bird is free
 It jumps from trunk to trunk
 It goes from land to land
 It eats food for free

 I listened to his humble talk.
 Stunned and enchanted by his story 
 His simple truth ran
 through the chapters of my life. 

 The truth is simple, he said. 
 No one can reject or forbid.
 Life is to live without hate or greed
 With others on this grand planet
 We live under one sky
 We walk on the same sand
 We breathe the same air
 We eat the same food
 We drink water from the same clouds
 We share the same feelings 
 of passion and compassion.

 Man! Come. Let us reason and reflect.
 Life is a path to another life
 We are walkers to another place.
 We encounter many trials and tests.
 Some we fail. Some we pass.
 Step by step, we walk out our destiny.
 Today or tomorrow, we will vanish, 
 not remembered 
 after one or two generations.
 So, why not laugh and dance?
