I Know I'M Alive

I know I'm alive
when I find the sky is blue,
when I find the birds are flying over the sky,
when the spring wind touches me lovingly,
when the scorching sun of summer spreads the scent of ripen jackfruits,
when the umbrella comes with my beloved under the seasonal rain drops


I know I'm alive and fall in love
when you come back to me after Eid vacation
and make me wait on the bank of Buriganga river

All wonderful reasons to be alive! -- and the final reason is so touching, so spiritual. Cheers, Mahtab! ~ Gershon
