The Lesson

One day when I was sitting on my terrace

Brooding over the miseries of life

Suddenly something knocked on the door of my thoughts

Disconcerted, I looked deep into its eyes

It was very clear and short

What is this? I thought

When the sky is clear

Only then can you hear

When the night is bright

Only then can you see the light

The beauty of life is what you need to discern

I within me replied.
