☆ ~ ‘My Abode’ ~ ☆

 Where there is dazzling dawn,

that’s where one’s abode should be…

Sometimes sit near a glowing flower

Listen to it when it spreads

its celestial fragrance,

It says a lot…

Sometimes by humming,

sometimes by smiling,

sometimes by sneaking,

sometimes by tickling…

Where there is dazzling dawn,

that’s where your abode should be…

You must have seen the small droplets

of dew  early  in  the  morning,

Their twinkling little eyes remain

awake the whole night…

There is a lot in their heart

but only this much is on their lips

Where there is dazzling dawn

that’s where my abode is…

Neither mud nor its slurry paste

Nor is there any gold to decorate

Wherever you find the love,

Build your home there only

The home of the heart is made by

the heart only, by touching the hearts,

By  meeting  everyone’s  hopes…

Wherever there is glowing dawn,

That is where my mythical abode is…
