PAPER BOATS
Day by day I float my paper boats one by one down the running
stream.
.
In big black letters I write my name on them and the name of the
village where I live.
.
I hope that someone in some strange land will find them and know
who I am.
.
I load my little boats with shiuli flowers from our
garden, and hope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried
safely to land in the night.
.
I launch my paper boats and look up into the sky and see the
little clouds setting their white bulging sails.
.
I know not what playmate of mine in the sky sends them down the
air to race with my boats!
.
When night comes I bury my face in my arms and dream that my
paper boats float on and on under the midnight stars.
.
The fairies of sleep are sailing in them, and the lading is their
baskets full of dreams.
(Rabindranath Tagore)
