I was listening to the music playing on my radio,
Got lost in my thoughts and like a wanderer
I touched upon my life aimlessly,
Embraced the sunlight dancing on the mountain top,
The fragrance of the wild flowers enlivened my soul,
So much to see, so much to explore,
All things petty and insignificant meant nothing to me anymore.

I decided to run away from all that kept me tied up,
This ' life ' is what I have now,
I put my arms around it,
Looking into its eyes I said,"'you're beautiful, "
Caressed its spirit,
The wild breeze kissed me,
I climbed up every tree,
Sailed through the ocean of people,
In their smile I discovered my true -self.

I stumbled on love to cherish it's glory,
Time stops for none,
It's ruthless,
But nothing could deter me,
Curb my enthusiasm,
'Life' crawled into my heart,
A soulful melody resonated,
Yes, 'life' got brighter, surely it's so beautiful.
