LOVE & PAIN (DORISIMBRA)

LOVE & PAIN (DORISIMBRA)

I won’t take birth in your lap, Mother Earth,
since I can’t add beauty to mind and soul;
What purpose will it serve in adding birth?
I can’t fight oppression to reach my goal.

Birds sing songs in blue sky,
Flowers fragrance to wind;
Rivers’ ripples quench thirst,
I failed to add my voice.

Just leading a life without a purpose,
Neither in family, nor as a sage,
Quieten with age, yet love’s river not shared;
I won’t take birth in your lap, Mother Earth.
