reasons to live
If only
To climb a mountain To touch the snow To watch the first steps of an infant To feel a kitty's tentative tongue To taste a jalebi Syrupy sweet To watch the clock climax To hear the bells moan for a man in the ground To sip tea dodging the skin of cream To hear children giggling To see an old man open his eyes with a gentle tap "hello" To see feel the embrace of a swimming pool
life is liveable
