Tell me

To feel the dew drops
glistening on the leaves ,
to see the sun
hiding behind dark clouds ,
to keep the fragrance
of the dying rose alive ,
to bring a spring
in unending summer ,
to awaken
the human essence in me ,
to fill the pulse of life
in the dead and dying .....

tell me
all that it takes
to do all that ,
in one lifetime ,
in this one.
