I Explain Why the Life Is Plain
I explain why the life is plain
"Life is beauty, admire it."
It costs only a few, but you can't buy it,
Only by paying attention, doing it with passion,
Having a long regard on the nature's fashion:
On the greeny trees, and fleeing streams,
On the orange sunset, and the spider's net,
On the bluish sky, or the animals' style:
On a Husky's map, or a Bengal cat-
Do not seek a perfect image of happiness,
Who enjoys his actual picture is the happiest.
"Life is sorrow, overcome it."
No one sees the tomorrow, today's unique,
Face the truth: life is ups-and-downs,
You cannot cry always, but must sometimes:
Since sadness has happiness as yin has yang,
Since darkness must forthcome brightness,
Since we have endless features as creatures,
Since we are living without giving anything-
Even a rainforest has its dry season,
With your patience, time does have salvation.
"Life is an adventure, dare it."
If you don't know a word, just misspell it,
Do! Write! Live! Be an artist, virtuose,
Enjoy your play before the curtains close:
Act the confident ever-knowing student,
Act the modest never-snob boss,
Act the funmaker no-grace trollface,
Act no one, but your own role-
Do not seek passively the luckiness,
If you are living already, you're the luckiest.
