Spring Is Here Spring Is Here

 

Far from the valley the wind comes

Dancing like a girl over the hill and river

Birds, bees and butterflies dance in joy

Shouting aloud, ' Spring is here, spring is here.'

 

Flowers shed colours and fragrances

Clouds are thin like cotton and sky is clear

Village girls gather at the river banks

To play and sing, 'Spring is here, spring is here.'

 

With quickened feet the peacocks

Dance in the woods spotting a group of deer

Above the blooming flowers bees

Tarry to scream,' Spring is here, spring is here.'

 

The majestic moon sails past the

cliffs and the stars shine like drops of tear

The playful wind flows across the

Meadows singing,' Spring is here, spring is here.'

 

Between Life And Death

 

From the dust I have come

To the dust someday I will go

When alive I may rise up to the sky

On my death I will lie low

 

In between birth and death

Life runs like a bouncing stream

Till the silence falls, life ceases

To be real and ends like a dream

 

Oh! This Life

 

Through thick and thin

This life goes on like a boat

In the turbulence water of time

Sometimes it feels good

Sometimes the storm is fierce

And it becomes difficult to swim

 

Through ups and downs

This life lives on like a leaf

Fighting the changing seasons

Sometimes playing in the

Wind of time and sometimes

Feeling sad without any reasons
