Earthling [Poem]

Where have I lived alone? And when have I died alone? When I live, all of nature lives. When I die, all of nature dies. Yes, I am a human being who lives in nature, not in the world.

Earthling [Poem]
news-wrap-sec

Search the stars.

I will search in the moon

After not finding you in the pitch darkness

I will search in the bright sun

But if I don't find you there

I will search in the soil of my own feet

That's where I will be, I am a man of the earth

news-wrap-sec

 

I will search in the oceans

Search in the oceans

After not finding you in the stagnant water

I will search in the clouds flying on the mountain tops

But if I don't find you there

I will search in the stone stream of my own village

news-wrap-sec

It will be flowing peacefully

I am a man of the earth

 

I will search in countries

Search in continents

After not finding you in the imaginary geographies you have drawn

I will search in the city markets

  But if I don't find you there

news-wrap-sec

I will search in the fields of my own village

I will be drenched in sweat I am a man of the earth

 

Why are you running away

Away from the damphu, chhyabrung, madals, you

When an innocent child fell ill, the Jhakribada played the dhyangro all night long and healed him

news-wrap-sec

Don't you like to hear the

Jogi's song again on the clear night of the month of Kartik?

I still live on nights when jackals cry

Across my sky

Goonthali, sparrows, and eagles fly

And across the earth

Phapar, millet, and rice dance

news-wrap-sec

 

Where have I lived alone?

And when have I died alone?

When I live, all of nature lives When I die, all of nature dies

Yes,

I live in nature, not in the world, but in the earth.
