LIFE


I have lain eternally in wait, to listen, to see,

I have poured my life into the heart of this earth,

I have searched for the unknown in the midst of the known,

That is why, in wonder, that is what has awakened my song.


The lines are from a Rabindranath Tagore poem. Tagore juxtaposes the eternal bond between man and his self with the bond between man and nature. The harmony and the wonder that spring from and define this bond gives rise to these words from the poet.
