1. The essence of life

With the death of each moment I live

By strangling each smile I am happy

Life takes more from us than it gives

So take as much from it and be happy

My restless soul will never be sated

How much can I take with me ultimately?

Nor the gems, neither any treasure

Nor any of the earthly pleasure

But in my heart and in my mind

Will remain the precious moments

The touch of my love, my child’s smile

The scent of the junipers and dandelion

The song of the birds, lulu’s laughter

The beauty of mornings till the hereafter.
