Like the Spring,

Flutter and dance in the breeze

Shower the deserted earth

With celestial flowers...

Like the Eternal Stars,

Fly with the angelic wings

Mirror a shimmer of light

In the golden moonlight...

Like the Sparkling Ocean,

Sway to the tune of endearing music

Fill the hearts of the Universe

With ecstasy and joviality...

-Sadana Lakmali
