Am I the water droplet that reach the ground..

Or nectar that quench the thirst..

Am I the flower fallen to ground..

Or a fruit brought to life..

Am I the rain droplet that join ocean..

Or a pearl formed during swaati constellation..

Am I the nagging pain..

Or the rebuking conscience..

Am I the fading life..

Or broadening wisdom..

Am I the fate that cause hardships..

Or road of life that concieve lasting memories..

Am I the inescapable reality..

Or the perspective that instigate thought..
