The journey of you and I



This journey of you and I
Is it a guitar, grown old by the light and air of the earth!    
Churning songs the moment you touch it; else, lies there in silence
Burdened with the burden of those countless melodies.  

This journey of you and I
It blooms in the rains when we walk, flowers begin to chat
Silence rules upon the earth everywhere if we do not step up
And they will bloom in their lips in claps, if I go there, I deem
And the evening song then spreads out all over the town.   

When all the little rivers meet each other
When all the small winds meet each other
And when all the mighty rivers meet each other
When all the great winds meet each other…
How they unfold their wings and manifest upon the earth.

This journey of you and I
Is it a secret stream?
Flowing below the ground,
What the deaf days fail to perceive!
