9. KID

- Sanjiv Verekar

A bird flies in the open sky
Such is your life
Moment you smile, moment you cry
Mind is like butterfly
That dances on each flower
Flits from one flower to other.
Sunlight pours in, rain disappears
Low tide comes, high tide goes.
But you are untouched
How come your life is so beautiful
Can you tell me o baby?

(Translated from Konkani by Mukesh Thali)
